YEREVAN, AUGUST 13, ARMENPRESS: A series of events take place around
Syria lately which can have influence on the deepening of the
situation in that country. Such opinion expressed Director of the
Institute of Oriental Sciences Ruben Safrastyan during the press
conference on August 13 highlighting that governmental forces have
great difficulty in changing the balance of power in their favor.
`They managed to defeat the riots in Damascus, in Aleppo where the
fights still go on. During this period Iranian diplomacy became very
active. Iran actively helps Syria and condemns Turkish activities'
mentioned Safrastyan as Armenpress reports. He considers unprecedented
the fact that Iranian envoy obviously criticized Turkish diplomacy in
Turkey. Western world considers Syrian events as a measure of pressing
Iran. `But we should not forget that Iran has great opportunities and
its declarations on Turkish diplomacy speak about the fact that Iran
has levers which can be used' stressed the speaker. The holding of the
meeting of Foreign affairs ministers of Arabic countries in Saudi
Arabia did not take place: Safrastyan suggests from that the
disagreements in Arabic world strengthened.
According to Syrian centre of Human Rights Defense Organization the
ongoing clashes have resulted in the death of over 19000 people. By
the info of Arab mass media more than 12000 were peaceful civilians,
while more than 5000 were security officers. Among the victims there
were 7 Armenians, 2 of which were the Syrian Army militaries. Because
of lasting disturbances in Syria a number of people are leaving the
country, getting refugee status in other countries. Recently Syrian
Armenian Community representatives are also quitting the state. The
applications submitted from Syria by our compatriots are being
envisaged by accelerated procedure, at least within ten days.
