PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian diplomacy should take a more principled
stance on non-allowance of a war in Syria and Iran, CIS States
Institute expert said.
"Armenia must make the West aware of the threats to Syria's Armenian
community, with the official Yerevan raising its voice against Western
interference in Syria's affairs," Mikhail Alexandrov told a news
conference in Yerevan.
The expert further commented on the statement of Armenian Foreign
Ministry representatives suggesting the latters are actively working
on Syria issue through their diplomatic channels.
"Unfortunately, that approach is incorrect. Unless the position
is voiced, no private promise can be guaranteed to be brought into
fulfillment," the expert noted.
When told by reporters that in case of voicing its stance Armenia may
cause the West to adopt openly pro-Azeri position, the expert noted,
"the West already backs Azerbaijan. Does it matter whether it's done
openly or covertly?"
