press-conference of Gagik Harutyunyan)

Genocide, quite unusual one, is being perpetrated in the Middle East
now - Arabs kill Arabs and alongside a Christian population suffers.
As the REGNUM Information Agency correspondent reports this was stated
by the Director of the Armenian `Noravank' Foundation Gagik
Harutyunyan at the press-conference held on May 13. According to Mr.
Harutyunyan the major issues under the current situation is who is the
instigator of this `new kind of genocide'.
`In my opinion, the point is the creation of the chaos in the
countries of the Islamic world. Most distinctly it can be observed on
the example of Syria, but here everything is much more complicated:
only 5-10% of the so-called Syrian oppositionists are the citizens of
this country which conveys a great deal. In any case the final target
of the instigators of the Syrian crisis is the Islamic Republic of
Iran and it is visible to a naked eye', - said the expert and at the
same time he called the situation in Syria `war of temporal Islam
against a radical one', where the temporal side is represented by the
president of Syria Bashar al Assad.
Developing Syria theme, Harutyunyan underlined that Assad turned out
to be more viable than he was considered to be a year ago. `Besides,
he is supported by a number of countries, including Russia, China and
Iran. Despite a serious crisis the Syrian government appeared in, it
does not work out to overpower Assad. In theory there are two ways of
developing of the Syrian scenario - one is the real and another one is
fantastic: settlement of the conflict at some moment and permanent war
correspondingly', - said the expert and referred in details to the
`real' option.
According to the analyst on the one hand the West is interested in a
quick resolution of the conflict and on the other hand it cannot make
for a direct intervention of Syria. `The current situation allows all
external actors to avoid responsibility under the international law.
Formally they are `innocent' and they take advantage of this
situation. But such a stance delays the process of the settlement of
the Syria conflict', - mentioned Gagik Harutyunyan, thus expressing an
opinion that the forthcoming presidential elections in Iran could
become a breaking point in the Syrian crisis.
`Iran is the final target. In Israel, which started delivering air
strikes to the Syrian territory, they make no secret of it. But the
elections in the IRI can change the accents in the foreign policy of
Tehran in regard to Washington and Tel-Aviv. In particular, the
candidate for presidency and the former head of the Islamic state Ali
Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani is softer as compared to the incumbent
president Mahmud Akhmadinejad. Besides, Israel and U.S. treat him with
more tolerance and more openly. Rafsanjani is the only influential
Iranian politician who recognizes (though in rather peculiar version)
Holocaust', - said the guest of the press-conference.
The director of `Noravank' Foundation also referred to the condition
of the Armenian community in Syria, saying that it mainly hold to a
stance of a cautious support of the current Syrian regime, which was a
rational choice. `But the Christians in Syria, including Armenians,
are in danger. The whole community suffers. If there was an
opportunity of an organized moving of the community to other country
it would be wonderful. But many Syrian Armenians consider that country
their motherland and take this idea ambiguously. This is also topical
even if Armenia is mentioned as the final destination point. The
latter in its turn does not have enough resources to accept thousand
of compatriots from the Diaspora. In one word, it is very complicated
issue', - said Mr. Harutyunyan.
