YEREVAN, 3 APRIL, ARMENPRESS. Iranologist Gohar Iskandaryan welcomes the agreement over Iran’s nuclear program and underscores the need to make the transition from the document to action.“The negotiations took a long time. We view the agreement as very positive, but the most important thing is to see if it will be put into practice, or stay on paper. The parties find that this is a historic event. Of course, a lot of work has been done and a very serious agreement has been reached, but the ultimate is taking action. Will it be implemented, or will one of the parties take a wrong step and leave the agreement on paper?”Iranologist said in an interview with “Armenpress”.
According to her, the important part of the process is that Iran raised its reputation, though the country made certain concessions during the negotiations. “Iran managed to use time wisely and increased its role in the region by two times, meaning it gained an advantage in terms of position,” Gohar Iskandaryan mentioned.
When asked what Armenia can expect from the lifting of sanctions on Iran and the increase of Iran’s role in the region, the Iranologist mentioned: “It should be mentioned that the level of Iranian-Armenian relations is quite high, and any advancement in Iran will obviously be more favorable for Armenia. We know that Iran has positive approaches to the solution to our Armenian issues, if not to say provides serious assistance.”
According to Gohar Iskandaryan, the peaceful approach to the agreement over the nuclear program is also important from the perspective that there used to be talks about military interventions that were completely undesired for Armenia.
