Political scientist: If Mahmud Agmadinejad quits powers, Armenia will face hard times

According to him, weakening of conservative powers represented by Mahmud Ahmadinejad creates the biggest concern in Armenia.

"If Ahmadinejad quits powers, it might lead to review of bilateral ties between Iran and Armenia. Therefore, Armenia hopes that Ahmadinejad will preserve his positions. Moreover, this is a guarantee that existing bilateral relations will at least not weaken", said he.

As for the change in position of official Tehran on Nagorno Karabakh conflict, in case the powers change, the political scientist said the following:

"The thing is not that this is a neighbor state and Iran places its investments into it and plans to raise the share of its economic presence. The issue is that Iran has secret contacts with European and US structures on Armenian issue for the limitless functioning of a vitally important corridor for Armenia. US and European structures are interested in the activeness of the Iranian-Armenian vector.

On Nagorno Karabakh conflict Iran urges both parties to settle the problem by way of peaceful talks. But Iran continues to plan idea of its mediation in the conflict resolution. Therefore, Iran is constantly watching the peacekeeping process in the OSCE MG framework. In this sense I do not think any cardinal review of position is possible in Iran", concluded the political scientist.
