The U.S. sanctions against Iran are specifically targeted against certain companies, George Kent, Deputy Assistant Secretary in the European and Eurasian Bureau, told reporters in Yerevan when asked about the impact of US sanctions.
Speaking about Armenia-Iran relations , Kent said “we understand the challenges for Armenia in terms of regional trade”, but.
“The issue is not about small traders engaged in trade, but Armenian companies just like Georgian and Azerbaijani companies need to understand who their customers are.
