    EDWARD NALBANDIAN: YEREVAN SUPPORTS BASHAR ASSAD

    ARMINFO
    Friday, May 31, 12:02

    The situation in Syria is very complicate and cannot be called black
    and white, Edward Nalbandian, Foreign Minister of Armenia said at
    the PACE Bureau Meeting in Yerevan, Friday.

    The minister said that Syrian President Bashar Assad enlisted the
    support of a part of his citizens a year ago, and the political views
    of the given part of Syrians cannot be ignored.

    "Many Syrians refuse to support the opposition, as they are not sure
    what will happen when the opposition comes to power. We support Assad
    as he supported us," the minister said.

    The minister said that there is a big Armenian community in Syria and
    the official Yerevan is seriously concerned over the situation in that
    country. In this light, Nalbandian said, 10,000 Syrian Armenians have
    already arrived in Armenia.

    Edward Nalbandian said it is necessary to seek peace for Syria and
    do it at the second Geneva Conference.

    "The first Geneva Conference proved fruitless, as Iran and Saudi
    Arabia were not involved in it," the minister said.
