/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Iran and Israel can seal a bargain, a French
authority on Islam said.
"The current situation is a historical mistake which will be
corrected," said Antoine Sfeir Director of Les Cahiers de l'Orient
Contemporain, Paris, France.
"Tehran and Jerusalem will be allies soon and they will offer Ankara
to join their union. Israel, Iran and Turkey used to be United States'
allies and will become such one day," he said.
Prof. Sfeir reminded that residents of Iran are not Arabs but
Persians. "Those who are afraid of Iran should not forget that Iran
is a Shiite state surrounded by Sunnis," he said.
"Iran needs a strategic partner. It could conclude an alliance with
Israel."
Prof. Sfeir voiced an opinion that U.S. President Barack Obama will
break the ice between the U.S. and Iranian relations, thus opening
a new era of relations in the Middle East, MIGnews.com reports.
