Instability in Syria is not in Armenia's interests - Araks Pashayan
14:15 - 08.10.11
Instability in Syria and in the Arab World in general would not be at
the interest of Armenia, given the Armenian diasporan communities
living there, a specialist in Arabic Studies has said.
Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Araks Pashayan said that
instability in the Arab World will entail security problems for local
Armenians.
According to her, currently Syria is not facing the risk of foreign
intervention given Russia and China vetoed the UN resolution that
would envisage intervention.
Further, she said that overthrowing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's
administration will not necessarily bring about democracy in the
country.
However, it will be a serious blow to the secular rule in Syria and
moderate Islamists may come to power - something that Turkey would
like to see there happen.
`Iran will back Syria against turkey as change of administration in
Syria will harm Iran's positions in the region,' explained Pashayan.
`Turkey has some failures in the Middle East, for example, when it
decided to play as a mediator between Syria's opposition and
authorities. Therefore, Turkey's ambitions should be dealt with
reservations,' she added.
