More Armenians are being killed in Syria, which is no coincidence,
the political analyst Sergey Shakaryants told journalists on Wednesday.
According to him, the Syrian opposition has proved that they want to
incite Christians thus causing confessional strife.
"It is wrong on Syrian Armenians' part to try to remain neutral. It
has come to attempts to involve Armenians in the whole matter,"
Shakaryants said.
Armenians should have warned they were establishing control over their
settlements, and anyone that attempted to attack would lose his life,
the expert said. In cooperation with the Syrian authorities, Armenians
should issue warnings. "I do not think the authorities will object,"
Shakaryants said.
As to whether such behavior is fraught with new problems for Syrian
Armenians, he said: "The more fear you show the easier you are
devoured. In 1915 Armenians were bending their heads..."
Armenians in Syria and Lebanon must announce consolidation of their
forces.
"They [the outposts] try to prevent attacks on big centers and cultural
heritage. But if the gunmen do not spare mosques, the fate of Christian
churches is clear," Shakaryants said.
The expert stressed that Syrian Armenians are the Armenians that left
Western Armenia with arms and do not have slavish thinking.
