Syrian Armenians need special support from the government, expert
of Arabic studies Hayk Kochayan and analyst Saro Saroyan said at a
press conference today.
Experts predict that the crisis in Syria may last from two months
to two years. It's as uncertain how the attempts to change Bashar
al-Assad's regime will end.
According to Hayk Kocharyan, it's untimely to predict that the power
in Syria will turn upside down, taking into consideration that the
authorities are better organized today.
Which option will be better for Syrian Armenians under these
circumstances? Should they be advised to wait until everything calms
down or look for a more peaceful future in another country? Political
scientist Saro Saroyan considers that political activeness can be
dangerous for Armenian.
"If Syrian Armenians demonstrate clear support for any power center,
it can be dangerous and disastrous for them," he said, adding that
"it's a different question that the interests of Syrian Armenians
overlap with Bashar al-Assad's political course."
As for the steps of the Armenian government, the political scientists
believe a special doctrine should be developed to determine the
necessary actions to be taken against the background of the possible
developments.
