PanARMENIAN.Net – The West’s plans regarding Syria failed in some
respect, Armenian political analyst said.

As Sergey Shakaryants noted, Syrian President Bashar Assad is likely
to become one of the most influential leaders of the region unless
Russia weakens its influence.

“Armenian and Russian interests fully coincide on Syrian issue,”
the expert said, stressing the need for Russia to intensify efforts
to avert Syria’s destruction.

Expert Harutyun Mesropyan, however, voiced disagreement with Mr.
Shakaryants’s viewpoint, noting the gradual decreasing number of
Syrian Armenians as an important factor.

In this context, the expert stressed Turkey’s aspiration to become
a superpower in the region.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
