The use of chemical weapons in Syria is a heavy crime and the guilty
should be punished, Director of the Oriental Studies Institute of
the Armenian National Academy of Sciences Ruben Safrastyan told a
press conference today. According to him, the use of chemical weapons
was a great provocation aimed not only at engaging the US and other
countries in the Syria events, but also destabilizing the situation
in the whole Middle East.
Safrastyan considers the authors of the provocation are the radical
forces, which actually started implementing their policy of changes
in the Middle East. However, he does not rule out the participation
of certain American and Turkish forces.
He noted that while the US President seemed to support the idea of
immediate intervention, it becomes clear from his most recent remarks
that the US will still wait for the development of events. The same
approach laid in the basis of yesterday's statement of the UK Foreign
Minister, who said "it's necessary to wait for the conclusion of the
UN experts."
According to the analyst, if the US bypasses the UN Security Council
and hits Syria, it will violate the international law and weaken the
role of the UN, which will, in turn, have a negative impact on the
developments all over the world. Besides, it will be dangerous for
the US, itself, as it will "earn"the hostility of a huge sector of
the Arab world.
