“Provocations are possible in the border with Artsakh” (video)
Armen Israyelyan, specialist in Iranian studies, after the terrorist attack in Iran says that provocations are possible on the border with Artsakh. “Of course not by Saudi Arabia or any other third party. But by the special services, which aim at destabilizing the northern regions of Iran, I think Azerbaijan is interested in it,” specialist in Iranian studies told the journalists. Those provocations may harm our borders. Armen Israyelyan links the terrorist attack in Iran to economic, political and security factors. In economic terms, he says, it may affect bilateral relations. “First it is conditioned by Iran’s economic situation, after nuclear agreement, the expectations relating to involvement of Iran in foreign investments etc, unfortunately, they weren’t fulfilled.” According to the specialist in Iranian studies, during the recent one-two years we have been able to create such preconditions, which will serve as a ground to develop bilateral economic relations- tourism, joint small enterprises etc. In the international relations, according to the words of Armen Israyeyan, Iran has lost its reputation, and if formerly nuclear agreement was on the agenda, now terrorist attacks are on the agenda. In political terms, according to the specialist in Iranian studies, the authorities of Iran will toughen their policy with Azerbaijan and Turkey. Armen Israyelyan is sure that the role of Armenia will increase for Iran.
