The newly elected President of Egypt Mohammad Mursi assumed office
a few days ago. This, however, did not restore the stability in
the country, Director of the Oriental Studies Institute of the
Armenian National Academy of Sciences Ruben Safrastyan said during
the Yerevan-Moscow space bridge today.
"Egypt is at the start of a new path, the perspectives of which are
rather vague. The newly elected President is trying to find a common
language with the military elite, which is actually governing the
country," he said.
According to him, the US is strengthening its influence in the region,
a good example of which was Egypt. He does not rule out that the
Turkish model might be applied in Egypt, which means that the power
levers will be gradually seized from the military.
In this case Syria will envy Egypt, Director of the Caucasus Institute
Alexander Iskandaryan added.
"The situation there is very complex. I'm afraid that an agreement
between the conflicting parties is impossible in the current
situation. Today the country is divided into small parts, the borders
of which often pass through cities, villages and even streets,"
he said.
The number of Syrian Armenians applying for Armenian citizenship
increases year by year, the political scientist said. According to him,
400 Syrian Armenians have applied for RA citizenship this year
As for the possible US attack against Iran, Iskandaryan said the
results of it could be disastrous for the region.
"Azerbaijan may use the military actions against Iran as a signal to
solve the Karabakh issue through force," he said.
