  Expert: several external forces aim to divide Iraq April 14, 2012 - 15:28 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Several external forces aim to divide Iraq, Armenian political analyst said. As Levon Shirinyan told a press conference, former President of Iraq Saddam Hussein turned Baghdad into a city of universities, trying to establish the most powerful scientific and technical base in the region. “One of reasons to attack Iraq was the U.S. attempt to deter strengthening of the country. Both Israel and the U.S. pursued the same goal. Israel’s strategy was initially aimed at weakening all the countries of the region through organization of coups, revolutions and civil wars,” the expert said. He further noted that groups studying the Kurdish issue and extending necessary assistance to Kurdistan currently operate in Israel.
