Expert says Turkey activating stance on Syria

August 13, 2012 – 14:09 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net – Turkey intensifies position on Syrian developments,
Director of RA NAS Institute of Oriental Studies said.

`It seriously analyses its policy on Syria,’ Ruben Safrastyan said,
deeming Turkish military intervention possible in future.

The expert stressed Turkey’s gradual deactivation in Syrian
developments or launch of hostilities as the two possible scenarios.

`In all probability the Turkish elite will resort to the second path.
Turkey is unlikely to abandon its last year’s stance that brought
about escalation of tensions in Syria,’ he said, noting Turkish
negative role in Syrian developments.

Mr. Safrastyan further said that Turkish policy on Syria resulted in
deterioration of its ties with neighboring countries including Iran.

“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
