15:43 05/09/2013 " TOPIC OF THE DAY
The U.S. and its allies fail to win in Syria because Bashar al-Assad
and the Syrian government enjoy public confidence, director of Noravank
Foundation Gagik Harutyunyan told reporters.
According to some calculations, only 20 percent of Syrian rebels are
Syrian citizens, and the rest are mercenaries, including those from
Azerbaijan and Turkey, he said.
"The Syrian war is the first multi-polar war, with the United States
and its allies on one side and Russia, China and Iran on the other,"
Harutyunyan said.
Commenting on the Armenia-EU Association Agreement, the speaker said,
"Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and Libya had Association Agreement. But it
is a piece of paper that means nothing at war."
The Noravank Foundation's director attached importance to relations
with Russia. "Armenia can be a model for the great European system,
combining the principles of both the European Union and the Customs
Union," he said.
