    Turkey is trying to use the rebels in its struggle against Kurds
    in Syria, which is a new phenomenon, Director of the Institute of
    Oriental Studies Ruben Safrastyan told journalists on Thursday.

    "The situation in Syria has lately shown new realities, which,
    unfortunately, do not suggest the solution to the problem is near.

    Arms and rebels are being brought into the country, may be at a higher
    rate than before," Mr Safrastyan said.

    He pointed out a number of Syria-related events. The most important
    is a meeting scheduled for late November. Different forces will
    discuss the ways of establishing peace. However, the latest reports
    show that most of the opposition forces are refusing to participate
    in the meeting, which may torpedo the meeting.

    "The relations between United States and Saudi Arabia are growing
    strained because of the Syria crisis. And situation in the Middle
    East is showing a tendency to grow strained," Mr Safrastyan said.

    With respect to US-Turkey relations, Mr Safrastyan pointed out that
    they have lately shown signs of tension. Turkey is interested in rebel
    groups getting stronger, to use them in its struggle against Kurds.

    "Turkey is seeking to play an independent game, which is the cause
    of growing discontent in the United States," Mr Safrastyan said.

    As regards the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in this context, the scholar
    said that he does not see any new developments.
