Today, Washington rather than Iran appears to be more interested in establishing a dialogue with Tehran, Iranian Studies Specailist Sevak Sarukhanyan, deputy director of “Noravank” foundation, told today a news conference. “United States which never missed the chance to criticize democracy situation in Iran now feels at ease to make such statements, whereas big towns face mass clashes and there are already victims,” the expert stressed.
United States reaction, according to the expert, can be accounted for by the realization of the fact that Washington will not be able to resolve key issues (including those of Afghanistan and Iraq) without a dialogue with Tehran. “Iranian partisan forces are actively working in Iraq. This concerns United States, especially considering that American forces are to leave Iran in August 2010,” Sarukhanyan noted.
