Vice-Chairman of the Russian Academy for Geopolitical Issues Araik Sargsyan has suggested Armenia deploy peacekeepers to defend Syrian’s Armenian community, given RA mission in Kosovo.

“The group may comprise 20-25 persons, who will guard Armenian-inhabited districts and protect the residents,” he said.

The expert further stressed the need for a local defense system to be applied in those districts.

“Unfortunately, Syrian Armenians proved rather disorganized in applying the system,” he said, noting RA as the community’s only hope today.
