YEREVAN.- Armenia must toughen position on the Syrian issue and
strictly oppose any military interference into the country, expert
of the Institute of CIS states Mikhail Alexandrov said in Yerevan.
He considers in long term perspective the current situation in Syria
will have negative consequences for the entire region and Armenia
in particular.
The experts gathered at the Monday press conference shared the opinion
that development of Syrian scenario is a stage of preparation for
the final target- Iran.
"The West is targeted at Iran and plans to use Azerbaijan as a possible
platform for the attack on the Islamic Republic.
Nagorno-Karabakh may be viewed by the West as price to be paid to
Azerbaijan," Alexandrov said.
He is confident that currently the U.S., EU and their allies are
supporting Azerbaijan, playing along when the matter concerns Karabakh.
In his turn Andrey Areshev, expert at the Institute of Political and
Social Studies of the Black Sea and Caspian Region, said Russia's
position on Syria differs radically from the stance of the Western
states.
"Destabilization in the South Caucasus is not in the interest of
Russia. Meanwhile, West's actions lead South Caucasus to the same
platform with so-called Great Middle East which is full of violence,"
Areshev emphasized.
