USA IS CONCERNED AS A UN MEMBER

Politics

Charge d’Affaires Anthony Godfrey expressed his concern over the reinforcement of relations between Armenia and Iran.

“There is no need to worry. We fully understand the USA's concern about nuclear programmes and Iran’s policy. We also understand Iran's stance. We think that each country has a right to employ nuclear technologies,” Arman Kirakosyan, the Deputy Foreign Minister and the Coordinator of Armenian-Iranian relations, told A1+.

Armenia's relations with Iran are very transparent. Armenia is USA's partner and in this view we have no secrets. Therefore, the anxiety is groundlees.

To the question why a third country should be concerned over the relations of two independent countries, Arman Kirakosyan said, “The United States of America is not a third country. The United Nations Organisation has corresponding resolutions on the nuclear programmes. Being a UNO member Armenia has certain commitments. Once you get acquainted with the document, you will see that it foresees restrictions.”

Armenia will continue partnership with Iran and strive to be transparent in the issues concerning the international community and the United States of America, he said.
