No relations can substitute for the Armenian-Iranian ones and Armenia is interested in further strengthening state ties with Iran, Head of Hay Dat Office, ARF Dashnaktsutyun Bureau Responsible for Foreign Policy Affairs Kiro Manoyan stated in Yerevan. In his words, Armenia has diplomatic relations in the region only with Iran and Georgia, which is also a friendly state.

«Armenia's relations with those two countries should be arranged to a degree to replace the absence of relations with Azerbaijan and Turkey. If the international community applies sanctions against Iran, Armenia will not support these,» the ARF Dashnaktsutyun representative said.
