Aravot: Ter-Petrosyan missed opportunity to improve ties with Iran
Emma Begijanyan, an expert on Iranian studies, told the correspondent of ‘Aravot’ newspaper that during the presidency of Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Armenia missed an opportunity to establish closer relations with Iran.
“At that time all the conditions existed for improving the relationship with Iran, but L. Ter-Petrosyan, not venturing to damage relations with the West, did not take that step and missed a chance. Liberals were in power in Russia at the time and they did not interfere very much in Armenia’s internal affairs. Now it is difficult for Armenia to take independent big steps,” E. Begijanyan said.
