Arab-Israeli Conflict Dangerous to Middle East Armenian Community

PanARMENIAN.Net - A few months will be necessary for attaining any peace in the Middle East, Head of Hay Dat Office, ARF Dashnaktsutyun Bureau Responsible for Foreign Policy Affairs Kiro Manoyan stated in Yerevan. In his words, preservation of Lebanon as an independent state is the point. "In worst case Lebanon will face civil war: if relations between Hezbollah and Lebanese exacerbate. Then the Armenian community will have to leave the country. Unfortunately, our country cannot host that number of refugees and they will probably go to the West. Moreover, the current Arab-Israeli conflict is dangerous to Middle East Armenian community,» Manoyan stressed.



He also added that if the international community cannot stop Israeli invasion, 20-25km of South Lebanon will be annexed. «This war is a conflict between two branches of Islam, it is not another Arab-Israeli conflict. The Iranian factor is present as well and it proves its superiority over the US forces in Iraq almost every day,» Manoyan said.
