Armenian lawmaker stresses balanced foreign policy amid U.S. tariff decision on Iran

Armenia pursues a balanced policy toward the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran, a senior lawmaker said on Thursday, The Daily Baku reports, citing Armenpress.

MP Artur Hovhannisyan from the ruling Civil Contract party was asked at a press briefing to comment on the Trump administration’s decision to impose a 25% tariff on countries trading with Iran.

“You know what programs we are currently implementing with the United States, and you also know what kind of relations we have with Iran. I hope that we will continue to pursue this policy with the same logic with both of our partners,” Hovhannisyan said.
