Armenia may join the US sanctions against Iran if it faces any trouble. This was stated by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan today, October 1.

Pashinyan was asked if Iranian airlines might have problems flying to Armenia, taking into account the new US sanctions against Iranian airlines.

“We are studying the package of sanctions. We are very transparent with all our partners. We say, especially in the case of friendly countries, that we will do our utmost to be friendly, but there is a line that we ourselves cannot cross. This is the line, the risk that Armenia itself may be under sanctions. That is, before the risk that Armenia will be under sanctions, we will remain in the logic of friendship. But if we see that we ourselves are falling under sanctions, we will have to make some decision on what to do,” the Armenian Prime minister said.

As EADaily reported, Washington announced sanctions against Iranian airlines as part of a new package of restrictive measures. Foreign firms and intermediaries that provided services to Iranian airlines were also sanctioned.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
