Political analyst Sergei Shakaryants announced that while large-scale military operations are developing in Syria, preconditions of civil war are being created in Lebanon. The same situation is in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Qatar. “I do not see any optimistic action that will keep the Middle East away from war.”
As for Syrian-Armenians, the politician said that authorities of Armenia are repeating the mistakes of Iraq. They do not accept any clear decision. During the press conference, he also said that we should use all our levers to help Syrian-Armenians. “We must threaten that if it continues, we will use all our means. Shouldn’t we at least once solve the issue at the state level?”
Iranian news network editor Rubik Minasyan said that the government of Armenia should have had a clear stance on this issue a year ago. “If we are going to help them, we should declare that; Syrian-Armenians should know what to rely on.”
And the fact that the Ministry of Diaspora is not doing any official announcement yet, Rubik Minasyan said. “If the Ministry of the Diaspora is not doing any statement or tell that we should not interfere, then why it was created.”
