YEREVAN.- All the actions launched against Iran should have legal basis, Russian FM said.

In case the decision to launch hostilities is made, it will affect not only security of Armenia but Azerbaijan taking into account a large number of Azerbaijanis residing in the Islamic Republic, Sergey Lavrov told journalists in Yerevan during a joint press conference with his Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian.

Such actions will have an impact on Russia’s security as the country may face massive flow of refugees, he added.

Under these circumstances, regional security will be threatened.

“It is difficult to predict the consequences but obviously they will be very negative,” he concluded.
