Armenia can become a bridge between Iran, U.S. and EU
Armenia has a chance to become a bridge between Iran on the one hand and the U.S. and EU on the other, according to an expert.

"Azerbaijan is not eyed as such, since it experiences problems with Iran," Richard Giragosian, a contributing analyst at Jane's Information Group, said in Yerevan during "Iran as regional power: problems and perspectives" seminar.

"Armenian authorities should make use of the geopolitical situation. Iran is vulnerable from the economic viewpoint, so the importance of the neighbor state, in this case - Armenia, is growing. The RA leadership should be ready to resist any kind of challenges," he said.
