Demolition of Lebanon and annihilation of its population is a recurrent step of aggression against Syria and Iran. The initial stage of this plan was the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, Armenian political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, Israel and the U.S. do not even try to conceal their purpose. "Though the military power of Israel is sufficient in case with Lebanon, the immediate participation of the U.S. will become necessary at the final stage. Nevertheless Iran will be too tough for them," he said.

At the same time he remarked that a barbarian annihilation of civilians that cannot be justified is being carried out in Lebanon. "Not only Israel but the whole international community is to blame for it. A country with centuries-old civilization and a unique system of co-existence of various confessions and ethnic groups is being demolished. The developments in Lebanon cannot be assessed from a political standpoint without taking into account the humanitarian constituent of the problem," the Armenian political scientist said.
