YEREVAN.- Ousting Alawites from power in Syria will immediately shake
the Shiite zone in the Middle East, Armenian political analyst Hayk
Kocharyan told reporters on Monday.
It will also weaken position of Iran and Shiite majority in Iraq.
“Intensification of Shiite factor in Bahrain was not a mere
coincidence. Saudi Arabia also has Shiite minority,” he added.
Expert in Arabic studies Saro Saroyan said shifting of political
regimes can pass without negative consequences when it is based on
political balance.
“We have been witnessing the trend of state separation over the
decades. It happened in the Middle East and North Africa: Ethiopia-
Eritrea, Sudan – South Sudan. Unless it is based on political
balance, the developments will lead to unfavorable conditions, up to
humanitarian catastrophe,” he stressed.
