YEREVAN. – The secret plan—by Washington, London, Paris, Rome, and Ankara—to invade Syria is a part of the information war against Syria, Arab Studies specialist Yervand Minasyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.   

In his words, such information leak is beneficial for Israel and US alike, since an information war is more convenient than military operations. 

“Military interference in Syria’s internal affairs is untimely for US. [And] An information war in favor of Syria’s opposition would result in a greater resistance. Syria’s strength will weaken, [and] at that time the military intervention would follow,” the analyst argued.   

According to Yervand Minasyan, a discourse between the Syrian opposition and the authorities is ruled out. “There is virtually no chance for commencing a dialogue,” he maintained. 

And in response to the query as to whether the Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad could consent to the opposition’s demand to open a humanitarian corridor, Minasyan said: “If Assad agrees, that would be the country’s death sentence. There are no guarantees that weapons would not be supplied to the opposition through that corridor.”
