/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The US and Russia are united in the matter of using
Armenia as transit territory for Iranian gas to the west, Head of
Hay Dat Office Kiro Manoyan stated at a news conference September
19. In his words, the two superpowers realize that for Armenia,
which is in an economic blockade, having an alternative gas source
is necessary. "It is important that Russia – the only gas supplier
to Armenia – realizes that fact," he said.
As for Armenian-Iranian relations, Manoyan believes there are no false
rumors seen. "The "Iranian dossier" may become the only factor for
worsening. If US desires are turned into reality and the international
community applies sanctions against Iran, problems may appear in
Armenian-Iranian relations," Manoyan stressed, reports IA Regnum.
