YEREVAN.- Situation in Syria and the Middle East will become concerning for Armenians if Turkey’s role increases, said Giro Manoyan, head of central Hay Dat (Armenian Cause) office, member of ARF Dashnaktsutyun.

ARFD member also commented on idea of Eurasian union proposed by Russian PM Vladimir Putin.  

“It is too early to decide on the issue. It is an economic structure which can have political character. Armenia still has to decide,” he said.

He recalled the opinion of one Turkish analyst who considers Russia-proposed initiative is directed against Ankara to suppress its expansion in the Central Asia.

Commenting on tougher sanctions imposed on Iran, Manoyan said a war is unlikely to break out. However, he did not rule out the possibility of hostilities, in particular, launched by Israel.
