PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian political analyst dubbed the Syrian unrest
as a war between the West and the East, namely the U.S., Turkey,
Great Britain and Saudi Arabia against Assad's regime through support
from Iran, Russia and China.
Commenting on the U.S. decision on increasing support to Syrian
opposition, Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan voiced hope for Kofi Annan
to achieve tangible results, noting it difficult to assess future
developments due to involvement of so many parties.
According o Reuters, as part of the six-part peace plan put forward
by Annan to halt the fighting, UN peacekeepers are planning for
a ceasefire monitoring mission that would have 200 to 250 unarmed
observers. It would require a Security Council resolution.
Syria has pledged to withdraw all military units from towns by April
10 to pave the way for a ceasefire with rebels two days later, though
Western envoys were skeptical on Monday, April 2 about Damascus'
intent to halt its year-long assault on opponents.
