YEREVAN.- Certain external forces are trying to intensify their efforts to achieve change of power in Syria, ARF Dashnaktsutyun member told  reporters on Monday.

Giro Manoyan, Armenian Cause (Hay Dat) Office Chief, said external forces’ involvement in the Syrian crisis is not explained by problem of democracy but solving regional issues of strategic importance. He pointed out the role of Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the U.S.

“Kurdish autonomy is likely to be established in Syria. Other consequences are hardly predictable,” he added.
