Repetition of the Libyan scenario in Syria will have extremely negative consequences for the local Armenian community, Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute deputy director said.

“The Armenian community supports President Bashar al-Assad, as they understand that he is the one who can ensure their security,” Suren Manukyan told a news conference in Yerevan, adding that in case of change of power the Armenian community which has already reduced to 100 thousand will be assimilated, like it happened in Iraq.

According to him, Assad will not resign and will fight till the end.
