Turkey demonstrates concern over Syria events - expert
A possible change in Syria may affect Armenia, Director of the Caucasus Institute, political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan told reporters.
“The Syrian developments are directly linked to Turkey, Iraq, and Kurds,” the political expert said.
It is the developments around Armenia, not those inside the country that are most interesting, according to him.
Turkey has deployed troops on Syrian border, the speaker noted, and thus is demonstrating concern over the Syria events.
“Syria is withdrawing troops from north-eastern regions (Der Zor, Kamishli) which makes us think that major developments are taking place there,” Iskandaryan said adding that “these events may change the regional situation which doubtless will affect Armenia.”
