“The visit of Armenia’s president to Iran was a message to the newly elected leadership of the Islamic Republic that Armenia stays committed to the agreements aimed at developing relations with the neighboring country,” expert in Iran Armen Israyelyan told a press conference on Tuesday in Yerevan.
To the speaker’s conviction, Iran will duly appreciate Yerevan’s commitment judging from the positive media coverage and analysis of all Iranian media outlets. He then reminded that issues discussed during the visit of President Sargsyan covered different spheres.
“The statement of the Iranian president about the Nagorno Karabakh conflict was quite important in terms of security. At a meeting with the president of Armenia, President Rouhani stated Iran would exert every effort to prevent any destabilization near its borders. First of all, this was an important message to Azerbaijan,” Israyelyan said.
The expert next recalled the terrorist attacks in Iran, saying those developments prompted the leadership of the Islamic republic to review its security policy.
“Previously, the economic component was at central stage in the relations with Azerbaijan, lacking due attention to security matters. I think Iran will reconsider that policy,” Israyelyan suggested.
