YEREVAN. – The article on Armenia-Iran cooperation published by Reuters agency was a warning for Armenia calling to be careful in relation with Iran and not to display unnecessary zeal, opposition Heritage party secretary Stepan Safaryan said at a press conference on Wednesday.

The upcoming presidential elections will not be the only key issue on political agenda this fall.

“In particular, the process around Iran and will be urgent and Armenia will have to face various challenges,” Safaryan said.

Safaryan also said that Armenia may appear in a very difficult situation in the near future by defining its position. Yerevan should demonstrate extreme carefulness and flexibility in its approaches, not a single state can blame Armenia for its policy on Iran as it is a matter of national security.

In addition, foreign political processes may become fatal for the Armenian leadership unless they are able to resist the challenges.

In an article “Iran looks to Armenia to skirt sanctions” Reuters cited the report by U.N. panel of experts that monitors compliance with the sanctions against Tehran. The report said Iran is seeking ways to bypass sanctions.

“One state bordering Iran informed the Panel of requests from Iran to open new financial institutions,” the agency cited the report. The article said several diplomats familiar with the report confirmed the state is Armenia.
