Failing to take control over the underground radical-Islamic forces
in the Middle East, the West is currently implementing in the Middle
East countries the same scenario as in Palestine i.e. establishes
governments under its control through bringing Islamists to power,
Vardan Voskanyan, Assistant Professor at the Iranian Studies
Department, Yerevan State Univeristy, told ArmInfo.
"Coming to power with the help of the West, radical Islamists, as a
rule, discredit themselves and lose the public confidence, for they
have no experience of state governance. As a result, they become fully
dependant on the western superpowers that keep them in power. In the
same way, western superpowers gradually take control on the Middle
East countries. Now, Syria is the target," the expert explained.
Nevertheless, he said, Assad will manage to stay in power unless the
opposition gets foreign support. Voskanyan thinks that it is not just
oil resources that attract Western superpowers to the Middle East.
"Extension of influence in the Middle East will make it possible for
the West to 'sneak into' Russia and China," he said.
