Analyst points to Armenia’s obvious advantage over Iran’s other neighbors
From Iran's perspective, Armenia’s obvious advantage over other bordering neighbors to Iran lies in the fact that Armenia ensures security in the northern part through the efforts of the county’s armed forces, an Armenian analyst wrote on Facebook.
According to expert on Iranian studies Armen Israyelyan, such an opinion is getting more popular among the Iranian circle of experts.
The analyst noted that one of the prestigious Iranian media outlets – Iran Daily – has made a reference to Armenian prime minister’s ongoing visit to Iran in an article titled “Strategic relations between Tehran and Yerevan”, highlighting the issue of the border security.
“In this context, Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Ghasemi also underscored the deepening of relations with Armenia, adding the Caucasus region is of pivotal strategic importance for Iran,” he concluded.
