YEREVAN. – Interests of the external players linked with any development of Syrian scenario, coincide visually by either withdrawing or maintaining the Bashar al-Assad regime, expert Hayk Kocharyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

According to him, it is not possible to claim how the events will develop in Syria, as the process is very complicated. The West gets use of cooperating with the Syrian opposition to achieve its objectives, which may be productive in long-term period, while the other bloc, including Russia, Iran and China, link their interests by supporting the current regime, which may be productive in short-term period, and may fail in long-term.

As for the worst scenario, the collapse of the Syrain state, Kocharyan stated that it has been viewed by various powers in different periods.

“Everything should be done to avoid the collapse of Syria, as besides human losses, it will lead to a long-lasting instability in the region,” he concluded.
