Encounters with Syrian-Armenians in Yerevan: 1970 and Today

12:31, June 30, 2012

There's talk here in Armenia about what's going on in Syria and what this means for Armenians living there.

Open a newspaper or listen to the radio and you'll see this and that analyst giving their take on the civil war now raging in Homs, Damascus, Aleppo and points in between.

Mostly, these commentators talk about the consequences for the community as a whole. They are billed as "Arab specialists" or "regional policy experts".

Hearing what they have to say, I get the impression that they are closet Assad supporters. Many use the same jargon as the Assad regime in describing the situation on the ground. Nevertheless, Assad himself has now declared that there's a civil war raging in the country.
