will not be demolished'
http://times.am/?l=en&p=6088
Today at `Armat' press-club expert on Arabian countries Armen
Petrosyan and politician Narek Galstyan met journalists and spoke
about the situation in Syria, referred to the inner military clashes
and their possible influence on the Armenians living in Syria. The
speakers also referred to the security of Armenians in Syria.
`It is already a year that clashes in Syria are going on. First it was
considered to be just a part of the Arabic Spring, but now as the
experts say it has become a civil war and it has its negative
influence on Armenian Community in Syria,' A. Petrosyan said.
According to him there are 70-80.000 Armenians. Two Armenians have
already been killed in Syria and serious economical losses are also
registered. Referring to the political crisis in Syria A. Petrosyan
said: `The mine blasts are mainly directed to the security and
military departments. It is also announced that the attacks are
directed to the ethnic discrimination. Really, Armenian Community may
give up its position but it will not be demolished.'
The expert also is sure that many soldiers and terrorists are taking
part in the war unconsciously and they do not know the reasons and the
aims of the war. `Such movements do not have democratic aims and the
announcements about them are not true. Assad's regime was really firm
towards the neighboring countries and it is rather independent. So it
is natural that some forces now use the opportunity to rebel,' A.
Petrosyan underlined.
Politician N. Galstyan underlined in his turn that the outer world has
great influence in Syrian events.
`Protection of Assad's regime demands on the foreign involvement and
if Russia did not assist it symbolically the situation would be more
complicated. The foreign forces will also decide whether Assad will
remain in his position or not', the politician considers.
