YEREVAN, JANUARY 18, ARMENPRESS. Lifting sanctions from Iran by the USA and the EU creates a new geopolitical reality, where serious opportunities rise for Armenia. The assessment belongs to head of the“Modus Vivendi”Center Ara Papian.
According to him, Armenia will continue to serve as a liaison between the West and Iran, and our country can record serious development. In Papian’s words, to merely hope that changes will occur is too little, instead, work in that direction must be undertaken not only on official level, but also on business level.
“As a result of lifting sanctions from Iran, Armenia’s role will increase as Armenia is the most convenient route for Iran to the West. An unprecedented favorable geopolitical situation has been created for Armenia, which must be taken advantage of”, Ara Papian responded “Armenpress”.
In a meeting in Vienna on January 16 the USA and the EU lifted sanctions from Iran. Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani called it the victory of the Iranian people.
