If Bashar Al Assad resigns and extremists come to power, possibility of
repetition of St. Bartholomew's Day massacres will be quite big. Former
ambassador to Lebanon Arman Navasardyan told journalists about it today.
According to him, there are two ways for the Armenians of Syria. The first
is to negotiate on state level with key powers in Syria.
"Even if this key power are the extremists. They must understand that
Armenians are protected by a state. Those negotiations may be behind the
scenes".
For the other variant, he says, he has been even criticized. "I think, we
must be ready for a mass deportation of Armenians. They must go anywhere,
even to Antarctica if it is about physical safety of a human being".
As for Armenian diplomacy, he thinks, that it must be aggressively active.
"The passing years showed that the passive diplomacy had its bad results in
Nagorno-Karabakh issue".
Mr. Navasardyan does not agree with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward
Nalbandyan's opinion, that Armenia should not discuss the Nagorno-Karabakh
problem when it takes the presidency in European Council Chairmen
Committee, as there is the Minsk group format.
"We should use all possible occasions and means to say to the world what we
want to say. Azerbaijan raises that issue in such countries which du not
even know the map", he said.
