PanARMENIAN.Net – Several external forces aim to divide Iraq, Armenian
political analyst said.

As Levon Shirinyan told a press conference, former President of Iraq
Saddam Hussein turned Baghdad into a city of universities, trying to
establish the most powerful scientific and technical base in the
region.

`One of reasons to attack Iraq was the U.S. attempt to deter
strengthening of the country. Both Israel and the U.S. pursued the
same goal. Israel’s strategy was initially aimed at weakening all the
countries of the region through organization of coups, revolutions and
civil wars,’ the expert said.

He further noted that groups studying the Kurdish issue and extending
necessary assistance to Kurdistan currently operate in Israel.
