Melik-Shahnazaryan: Syria is in the same situation as Artsakh was in 1993-94
Currently, Syria is in the same situation as Artsakh was in 1993-94, political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan said at a conference titled “Syria: Terrorism, Armenians, Elections” organized by Voskanapat analytical center.
“The Syria crisis is not a civil war. There is no classical opposition and the rebel forces, the extremist Islamic organizations have mostly been sent from other countries to fight against the legal authorities in Syria,” the expert noted.
According to Melik-Shahnazaryan, Azerbaijan tries to get rid of Islamists and sends them to fight in Syria. He stressed that we must admit that Saudi Arabia is the most powerful force in Syria.
The expert also said that Turkish troops directly participated in the military operations in Latakia.
