YEREVAN. – Genocide of a new type, when Arabs are killing Arabs, is being committed in the Middle East, expert Gagik Harutyunyan said.

He believes that there are sufficient resources for the continuation of the armed conflict in Syria, as Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United States are engaged. Harutyunyan recalled that the U.S. have recently decided to grant $1 billion “on non-military spending.”

“We know that the European countries Britain and France, wanted to provide direct military aid to the Syrian rebels, but this was opposed by Germany. For this reason the decision was not made within the framework of the European Union,” the analyst told reporters on Monday.

He also added that, on the other hand, such giants as China, Iran and Russia play a considerable role in the Middle East. The Iranians have learned to avoid economic sanctions by selling oil and Russia has considerable resources in terms of weapons.
