Gaza Strip history good lesson for Armenia
Israel is wrapping up its campaign in the Gaza Strip. On the one hand, it seems the Jewish state can celebrate victory. On the other hand, it could avoid constant bombardment from a hostile entity, an Armenian expert said.
"On August 22, 2005, evacuation of Netzarim, the last Jewish settlement in Gaza, was described as a security measure. The events that followed can be a good lesson for Armenia and a warning that it's impossible to achieve peace in exchange of territories," orientalist Suren Manukyan told PanARMENIAN.Net.
"Evacuation of Jewish settlements from Gaza brought neither peace nor security. On the contrary, it made Israel more vulnerable and played in Hamas' hands. The enemy took this step as demonstration of weakness and continued bombing Israeli territories more fiercely. The East doesn't have respect for the weak. We should have understood this long ago," Manukyan said.
