War in Iran reaches new level - expert

ArmInfo. Although the war in Iran has virtually ceased to be a focus for Armenian society and politicians, it not only continues but has reached a new level of development. Turkologist Varuzhan Geghamyan writes about this on his Facebook page.

"Yesterday's assassination of one of Iran's most influential figures,  Ali Larijani, is clear evidence of this.  And its immediate  consequences are already being felt throughout the world, including  in Armenia," the political scientist noted.

As an example, Varuzhan Geghamyan cited a statement by Central Bank  of Armenia Chairman Martin Galstyan, who noted the previous day that  escalation in the Middle East could impact inflation in Armenia by  1.2-1.7% and slow economic growth in the country. "Unfortunately, the  war in Iran is being taken lightly, and its consequences and impact  are being underestimated. Look at the footage from Beirut, the  capital of Lebanon, this morning. And let's think again about the  real problems of our region," the political scientist wrote.
