 Armenian Speaker, Iran and Russia helped Armenia for their own benefit. When Iran declares the unacceptability of geopolitical changes, this is done first of all for Tehran, Speaker of the parliament Alen Simonian said at a meeting of the National Assembly. According to the head of the Armenian parliament, Iran is on the side of Yerevan, not because of its great love for Armenia. Iran sells weapons and is engaged in their transportation based on their state interests. The same applies to Russia. Do you think Russia should put its interests aside and say, we love the Armenians very much? They have good cognac. So let's do something for them. Of course not. All countries, including ours, have their own interests, Simonian said. The parliament speaker said that having dealt with the Karabakh problem for 30 years, Armenia eventually got a war. Alen Simonian believes that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's recent statement on Karabakh doesn't require a reaction. What is there to respond? I think everything is clear and it is a process that shouldn't be bothered now. By and large, nothing new to us was voiced, Simonian told reporters. In a recent interview, Lavrov had said that, for a very long time Armenia had occupied seven regions of Azerbaijan and Baku returned its lands.
