Armenia Will Suffer from U.S. War against IranApril 3, 2006 - 18:35 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia cannot remain indifferent to the possibility of U.S. hostilities against Iran but unfortunately it cannot influence on the developments, political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan stated in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, Armenia is not a member of the UN Security Council and doesn't have political significance for the powers. "It doesn't mean we should keep silent. Iran is our friendly state but it's not real to hope for serious assistance from Armenia. Especially taking into account the unsettled conflict with Azerbaijan," he noted. In the political scientist's opinion, all including Armenia will suffer from the war. "It will be a huge-scale humanitarian catastrophe. Using its incontestable technical advantage America is capable to bomb all Iranian power plants, bridges, ports, railway stations and airports There is also a threat of civic war that can be provoked by Washington and Baku. Huge flows of refugees will move to the neighbor states greatly damaging their economy. Besides, the U.S. allies being in the hitting radius in the region will to all appearance be attacked by Iran. In case Tehran succeeds in blocking the Persian and Oman gulfs, Europe will face economic collapse," Melik-Shahnazaryan said.
