“We, as a state, should be interested in ending the war in Iran quickly. “Unfortunately, diplomacy and actual military operations do not always coincide, although a ceasefire was announced, but the shelling related to Lebanon puts the problem into question,” RPA Vice-President Armen Ashotyan said in a conversation with reporters in the court yard, talking about the processes taking place in Iran and the region and Armenia due to it.

Armen Ashotyan emphasizes that all this should be followed in Armenia, according to which, first of all, it is necessary.

“Stable region, united, undivided, strong Iran as a reliable, friendly state.

It is obvious that if Iran does not lose this war, and this seems to be accepted by Western circles, the Turkish factor will not get a chance to expand further, and this is a positive development for us. Otherwise, in the conditions of Russia’s consistent expulsion and Iran’s weakening, Turkey would completely fill the region with itself.”

Speaking about the consequence, Armen Ashotyan said that it refers to the American security guarantees, which do not work even for the states where the United States has military bases, and to which it has indeed given those security guarantees.

“In the case of Armenia, we know that after last year’s meetings in Washington, as a security factor, they tried to force us to simply be a witness by the US president. And we see that there are countries of the Persian Gulf that are directly under the protection of the US protectorate, but this did not protect them,” added Armen Ashotyan.

In this context, he also added that the last lesson to be learned is to make sure once again that small states do not have the right to become puppets in the hands of geopolitical games of big states, otherwise they will suffer first of all.
