14:02 18/09/2013 " TOPIC OF THE DAY
The outcome of Syria's crisis is not yet visible and there is a
real danger of military action against Syria, Ruben Safrastyan,
Turkish studies expert, Director of the Oriental Studies Institute
of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences, said at the
Moscow-Tbilisi-Yerevan spacebridge in Yerevan.
"Turkey may strike Syria. From the very beginning of the conflict in
Syria, Turkey actively supported the Syrian opposition," he said.
Turkey has deployed a great number of offensive weapons near its border
with Syria, so the danger of Turkey's strike against Syria is topical,
Safrastyan added.
According to the expert, there are 7,000 Syrian Armenian refugees
in Armenia and the Armenian community of Syria, including Aleppo,
is in great danger.
"The Armenian community of Aleppo will suffer big losses and will
be forced to leave the city in case of Turkish attack," Safrastyan
concluded.
