Statements on need to send Armenian troops to Syria are untimely, Gagik Harutyunyan says
A multipolar war is taking place in Syria and calling the Syrian conflict a civil war would not be adequate to the situation, director of Noravank Foundation Gagik Harutyunyan said at a conference titled “Syria: Terrorism, Armenians, Elections” organized by Voskanapat analytical center.
According to him, the big powers – Russia, China, U.S. and several member states of NATO are involved in the Syrian war, with Turkey being the most active.
Harutyunyan stressed that the Armenian community of Syria is in a grave condition as a result of the war.
“The statements on the need to send Armenian troops to Syria are untimely. It is not our war. However, we must create conditions for our compatriots to come to their homeland. We must implement special programs. Such programs can also help us improve our demographic situation,” the expert concluded.
