Any attack on Iran to greatly impact Armenia, MP claims

Tigran Abrahamyan, an MP from the opposition Pativ Unem faction in the Armenian parliament, warns that any attack on Iran would have a serious impact on Armenia.

"The pressure on Iran, at least through information campaigns, is intensifying rapidly. It comes as the U.S. offers Iran a deal with an implicit threat of war if no agreement is reached," he wrote on Facebook on Thursday.

"Even a casual observer can tell that the U.S. president, who has maintained a tough anti-Iran stance from the outset, is raising the stakes with his rhetoric and actions, which could lead to a major explosion in the region.

“I will not hesitate to reiterate that any strike against Iran – whether economic sanctions or direct military operations – will have far-reaching consequences for Armenia and its surroundings, accelerating the threats looming over Armenia," the MP stated.
