GNU Free Documentation License Do you know that Iran signed a defense pact with Greece and Armenia? Q. Here's a site that gives the information about Greece: A defense agreement had been agreed to between the three countries on June 28th of 1999. In the case of an attack, the other countries will help the attacked one. So, if the US or Israel attacks Iran, do you think Greece and Armenia will honor the treaty and side with Iranians against the US and Israel?

From your question, it is quite clear that you don't have any idea about history. First of all, Armenia does not consider opening her borders, instead she has been begging for it since Turkey closed the borders unilaterally more than a decade ago.
