The situation in Lebanon is part of the West's Syria-Lebanon-Iran
scenario, Orientalist, professor of Yerevan State University Ruben
Melkonyan said in an interview to ArmInfo.
He said that the outbreak of violence in Lebanon was quite easy to
predict. "The West has just produced one more trouble spot in the
Middle East just to show how weak the Shia-Alawi regimes are," the
expert said.
He believes that in their fight against Bashar al Assad's Syria the
West and Turkey needed one more spot of instability. "In other words,
they in the United States have decided that the tensions in Syria are
high enough to spread to the key ally of Syria and Iran, Lebanon. And
now they will try to replace the local pro-Syrian and pro-Iranian
authorities by an anti-Syrian and anti-Iranian regime," Melkonyan said.
To remind, at least 8 were killed and 80 wounded in an explosion in
the center of Beirut Oct 18. It is the first terrorist act in the
Lebanese capital in the last four years.
