Syria Will Not Interfere with War between Israel and Lebanon
Syria will not interfere with war between Israel and Lebanon, political scientist, specialist in Turkic philology Ruben Safrastyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. «No one will support Syria in that issue, and first of all Russia, from which Syria depends,» he noted.

In his turn political scientist Stepan Grigoryan also underscored that neither Syria, nor Iran will dare to launch a war against Israel. «In this case they will have to deal with the US and Russia in direct sense,» he said.

Syria FM Walid Moallem stated in Beirut that Syria is ready to a regional war and will respond to any aggression by Israel.
