PanARMENIAN.Net - War with Iran will have grave consequences for the whole South Caucasus region, first of all Armenia, according to a political analyst.
Armenias energetic stability will suffer greatly due to Irans being the only alternative to unreliable Georgia, Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan told a press conference, linking the U.S. tough rhetoric on Iran with the forthcoming elections and the need for powerful Jewish lobbys backing.
The U.S. currently has 3 allies in the Middle East-Israel: Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. All these three countries attempt to deter strengthening of Iran, though they hold different stances. On the other hand, Iran wont shift its position on Pakistan following development of a nuclear weapon, the political analyst said.
According to him, Iran is greatly concerned over Pakistan, which possesses a nuclear weapon. Mr. Melik-Shahnazaryan further forecast Irans becoming counterweight to Pakistan and its stabilizing factor in the region.
