Tehran celebrates nuclear agreement between Iran and six powers gained
in Lausanne. According to that agreement, Tehran is obliged to refrain
from creating nuclear weapons, in return the West lifts the sanctions
against Iran. The agreement is also important for Armenia.
Economist Vahagn Khachatryan says, "The same country, which was a
threat to Europe and the region, today can become an opportunity for
development."
The West started its sanctions against Iran in 2006. Iran's trade with
the outside world was suspended. Iran raised its customs duties on
imports in order to compensate its economic losses to some extent. "It
is difficult to negotiate with Iranians in the economic cooperation.
They measure a thousand times but cut once. They will cooperate and
will make investments, when their interest is very important."
In 1995 Mr. Khachatryan was a member of Armenian-Iranian
intergovernmental commission and he reminds that many economic
agreements were signed with Iran, but only one or two of them were
implemented, "They were even ready to make investments for the
rehabilitation of "Nairit" plant.
President of the Union of Employers of Armenia Gagik Makaryan doesn't
think that Armenia will benefit from the abolition of the sanctions
against Iran, "It isn't excluded that Armenian investors establish
economy in the free zones of Iran, where they are freed from taxes for
20 years."
Having closer relationship with the RA among the neighbors, will Iran
use our country as a transit route to Europe, "They can enter Georgia
through the RA as tourists, but the RA cannot yet serve as a transit
route for cargo transportation."
Vahagn Khachatryan thinks that Europe is mainly interested in Iranian
gas and petroleum, and the transportation of these energy carriers
through the territory of Armenia may not please our strategic ally
Russia, "We must assess whether we need to endanger our relations with
the RF. Though from the economic point of view the RA will only
benefit."
The economists think that if the RA wants to be a platform between the
EEU-EU, it must develop a right relationship with Iran.
