Alexander Iskandaryan: events in Egypt cannot be labeled as “color revolution”February 3, 2011 - 16:54 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Director of Caucasus Institute, political analyst Alexander Iskandaryan said that the events in Egypt cannot be labeled as “color revolution,” since they are not a result of elections. The further developments will show whether a revolution will take place in Egypt or not, Iskandaryan told a press conference in Yerevan. “In any case, these are mass protests, after which Egypt will change considerably. Egypt faces the threat of “Lebanization.” I mean permanent unrest,” Iskandaryan said, adding that the events in Egypt will lead to significant changes in the Arab world as a whole. According to him, Islamist moods may gain momentum in Egypt, what can affect Cairo’s relations with Israel that raises concern of Jerusalem. Iskandaryan noted that Israel has already lost Turkey as an ally. And if the relations with Egypt are also spoiled, it will radically change Israel’s position in the region, strengthening Iran’s positions.
