PanARMENIAN.Net – The UN sanctions against Iran can hardly be
considered total blockade, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said.

As President Sargsyan said in an interview with Russia’s Kommersant
newspaper, Armenia acts in line with the international law in its
relations with Iran.

“The sanctions harm the Iranian economy and affect ours. However,
we continue development of joint programs, particularly in hydropower
sector. Construction of a new international highway linking Armenia
and Iran is in progress, with the railway project to be implemented
next,” President Sargsyan said.
