PanARMENIAN.Net - Noravank Foundation expert Arax Pashayan said the
Armenian community of Syria gains from Bashar al-Assad's rule.
Armenians of Syria consider the current authorities to be the
guarantors of their security, Pashayan told a press conference
in Yerevan.
"Armenians supported the incumbent President, what was a grounded
decision. They had no alternative," Pashayan said, adding that
the Armenian community has no problems currently, despite the
anti-governmental protests.
Nevertheless, the expert did not exclude the possibility that Armenians
will emigrate from Syria to Lebanon, the U.S. or Canada, following
the unrest in the country.
According to Pashayan, it will affect the weakened positions of the
Armenian community in Middle East countries.
