YEREVAN. – Tehran’s policy on Syria will not change after the presidential elections in Iran, political analyst Gagik Harutyunyan told reporters on Monday.

Harutyunyan, head of Noravank research center, said the result of the presidential elections in Iran in some way may change the policy toward Israel and the United States.

“For example, one of the numerous candidates for the presidency recognizes the existence of Holocaust. He is well treated by the U.S.  However, it is just a little nuance, since any Iranian politician realizes that as soon as Syria falls it will be the turn of Iran,” political analyst said.

He also stressed that the U.S. and UK underestimated the viability of Syria, as a whole, and Bashar al-Assad, in particular.

“Today, they are trying more actively to find a solution to this problem. On the one hand, the Syrian state has appeared in a situation in which military actions take place, and on the other hand this war may last forever,” he added.
