ANALYST: IRAQ MAY BE DIVIDED INTO THREE PARTS
June 17, 2014 | 15:44
Armenian analyst Ruben Safrastyan believes new Middle East and North
Africa are being formed at the moment.
Since the beginning of Arab spring, the Middle East and North Africa
entered that can be described as a period of changes and chaos,
Safrastyan, director of Armenia Institute of Orientology, said during
a press conference on Tuesday.
"But, for already several days, we can observe a new geopolitical stage
in the Middle East, the elements that can lay background for the new
Middle East. First of all this is referring to the developments over
Iraq," he said.
The second element, the analyst believes, is election of Bashar Assad
that proved he is acceptable leader for the majority of Syrian people.
"This proves the Syrian state is a strong country and can resist
crisis. The third factor is a protest movement of Libyan military
against Islamists. The fourth element is elections in Egypt,"
Safrastyan noted.
According to Safrastyans forecasts, Iraq will be divided at least
into three parts. Besides, Libya is likely to split into 2-3 states.
