Facebook post of Doctor of Political Sciences Armen Ayvazyan:
"There are many possible scenarios of developments in Syria. division between several state formations, Turkish and Israeli occupation of the northern and southern parts of the country, civil war between different ethno-religious groups and military groups, as happened, for example, after the overthrow of the governments of Saddam Hussein in Iraq and Muammar Gaddafi in Libya.
Turkey's current success may turn into a strategic defeat over time, if we notice that this fascist state will have to gradually get more and more involved in the divided Syrian military and political fields. Even from the beginning, the USSR recorded military successes in Afghanistan, but had to leave there with heavy losses. The same thing happened with the US invasions of Vietnam and Afghanistan, as well as the local forces that supported them. Iran is likely to try to establish a new foothold in Syria, a force similar to the Syrian Hezbollah. Turkey is already openly playing the West's game.
Russia and Iran will strengthen and deepen their military alliance to counter common enemies. In this sense, Armenia can benefit to a certain extent, because the occupation and destruction of Armenia threatens Iran's interests and security more than ever. This time, Russia can listen much more carefully to Iran's arguments about the inadmissibility of handing over the "Zangezur Corridor" to Turks and Azerbaijanis.
The remaining Armenians in Syria have found themselves in a difficult and hopeless situation, and the issue of organizing their immigration to Armenia should be on the agenda both in Armenia and in the Diaspora.
