YEREVAN. – The U.S. Congressman Gus Bilirakis’ call on Administration
to prioritize the security of Syria’s Christians, including Armenians
is within the general politics, which the U.S. runs on further
weakening the Assad’s regime, expert Sergey Minasyan told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
The expert also believes that the call on the humanitarian point of
view may have another meaning, but it will not have an impact on the
political sphere. If the Assad regime collapses, the Syrian Christians
will not be in a situation to envy them.
Earlier the agency informed that the U.S. Congressman Gus Bilirakis
called on official Washington to prioritize the security of Syria’s
Christians, including Armenians.
`I feel we have an obligation here in the United States and I want to
continue to speak out on behalf of Christians and all religious
minorities in the Middle East.’
The lawmaker believes whatever government comes to power Washington
wants to make sure that it will guarantee freedom of religion,
expression and speech.
Bilirakis said Washington should also make sure that Armenians and
other Christians are represented in the Syrian National Council. `We
need to make it a priority,’ he said.
