YEREVAN, OCTOBER 15, ARMENPRESS. It will be very beneficial for
Turkey, if Syria stops its existence as a geopolitical factor, but
this can be reached only via foreign interference, as armed militants
and weaponry. Director of Institute of Oriental Studies of the
National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia Rouben
Safrastyan announced this in a conversation with "Armenpress".
Director of Institute of Oriental Studies said: "As recent
developments show this can be achieved by foreign military aggression.
In fact, thus Turkey finds a political solution as well, as there are
Kurds all along the Syrian border, that are very serious in pursuit of
the autonomy or even independence during last months, what means
Turkey will have to face Kurdish independent state in his borders with
Syria and Iraq". Second issue springs out of the Turkish-Syrian
relations referring to entire Turkish policy. Via this aggression
Turkey finds solution not only to his problems, but those of the West
and USA, as they all knew that it is impossible to get rid of Bashar
Assad without foreign power; therefore Turkey takes the role of that
foreign power.
In this respect present state of the Syrian-Armenians is rather
disturbing. In Safrastyan's opinion Syrian-Armenians and particularly
Armenians from Aleppo are representatives of a generation that
suffered the Genocide and in frames of these all Turkey's desire to
damage Armenians as well is apparent.
Clashes between rebels and authorities in Syria caused the death of
more than 30,000 men. Syrian government blames Turkey for arming
rebels with weaponry.
