Yerevan/Mediamax/. Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies of
the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia Ruben Safrastyan said
today that Republic of Armenia should serve a protector of all the
Armenian communities and Armenians living in Near East in particular.
He noted that "after "Arab Spring" it's important for the Armenians
of the Near East to feel that the Armenian authorities are ready to
protect them", Mediamax reports.
"Armenia should be ready if certain steps are needed to be taken. We
should send signals already now and state that Armenia will protect
the interests of all Armenians", noted Ruben Safrastyan.
He also added that the Armenian authorities should think about
Armenians of Syria in the light of their possible migration to Armenia
if the situation in this country aggravates.
According to Ruben Safrastyan, these issues are becoming more urgent
taking into account the growth of intolerance towards the Christian
population of the Near East and establishment of the Islamist power
in these countries.
