Mr. Manoyan does not rule out outbreak of hostilities by Israel despite the slight possibility of war against Iran. “Military operations will negatively affect Armenia due to Armenia-Iran diplomatic relations. We should focus on Iran’s balanced policy regarding regional issues,” Manoyan said adding that destabilization in Iran also poses threat to Armenia’s national security.
