The situation in Syria is explosive and there is little optimism,
director of Noravank Foundation Gagik Harutyunyan told the reporters
today.
According to him, the war activities in Syria are not just clashes
between authorities and the opposition but it is a war that engaged
such geopolitical role makers like the USA, Europe and first of
all Turkey from the opposition side and Russia, China and Iran from
the authorities.
"The problem there is Turkey that has already declared a de facto
war against Syria," he said.
Harutyunyan explained that the West is trying to raise Turkey's role
in the Middle East and leave Iran in the second plan. He said the
scenarios may be both good and bad.
"According to the bad one, the West will manage to overthrow Syria's
administration and establish an anti-Iranian regime like it has
happened in Iraq, Libya. With it they will try to violate the power
balance, accentuating Turkey's significance, rather than Iran's,"
he said. The second scenario is reconciliation.
According to the foundation's chairman, the results of the US
presidential polls will too have significant role in the developments.
"If Obama wins the process will continue, if the Republicans win,
the process will slow down," he said.
Harutyunyan said the bad variant will be a serious threat for the whole
region and in case of pro-Turkish developments, Armenian-Azerbaijani
relations will become more tensed.
Harutyunyan also said all the Armenian communities of the world have
weakened which he said is normal in the conditions of globalization.
"Everywhere, be it in Glendale, Georgia, the Armenian community
weakens. We must think to use this potential in non-traditional way,"
he said.
