/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A few months will be necessary for attaining any
peace in the Middle East, Head of Hay Dat Office, ARF Dashnaktsutyun
Bureau Responsible for Foreign Policy Affairs Kiro Manoyan stated
in Yerevan.
In his words, preservation of Lebanon as an independent state is the
point. "In worst case Lebanon will face civil war: if relations between
Hezbollah and Lebanese exacerbate. Then the Armenian community will
have to leave the country. Unfortunately, our country cannot host that
number of refugees and they will probably go to the West. Moreover,
the current Arab-Israeli conflict is dangerous to Middle East Armenian
community," Manoyan stressed.
He also added that if the international community cannot stop Israeli
invasion, 20-25km of South Lebanon will be annexed. "This war is a
conflict between two branches of Islam, it is not another Arab-Israeli
conflict. The Iranian factor is present as well and it proves its
superiority over the US forces in Iraq almost every day," Manoyan said.
