/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Iran-U.S. relations can have an impact on Armenia
in all respects, well known political scientist Andranik Mihranyan
stated in Yerevan. In his words, the only stable path joining Armenia
with the outer world lies through Iran. “It’s true that the principal
communications come through Georgia, but we do know how unreliable
this neighbor is,” Mihranyan underscored.

The Russian political scientist supposes that if the U.S. deals a
blow the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline can be damaged. “A counterblow
will destabilize the whole Near East. At that, taking into
account the tension in the Russian-Georgian relations, the
Georgia-Azerbaijan-Turkey axis and absence of any relations with
Turkey, Armenia is threatened with isolation. Under such circumstances
a policy for preventing isolation should be developed,” he said,
