Armenia is in a unique geopolitical position which gives it certain
advantages, Richard Giragosian, an analyst at the "Spectrum" Center for
Strategic Analysis, told ArmInfo correspondent.

According to him, the advantageous geopolitical position of Armenia in the
region is that only Armenia in the South Caucasus region may become "a
bridge" for Iran in terms of development of relations with both Europe and
the USA, and even with Russia. Only Armenia may involve Iran to contribute
to establishing relations in emotional respect, as well as in the sphere of
energy and diplomacy, the expert noted. He added that neither Turkey, which
has certain tense relations with Iran with respect to the Iraq issue, nor
Azerbaijan, which has its problems with Iran, can solve such problems.
