East and West must unite and break down this newborn monster "Islamic State": expert

YEREVAN, JANUARY 29, ARMENPRESS: The political expert Levon Melik-Shakhnazarian considers the Crimea’s return to Russia and the establishment of the Islamic State to be the most important international events of 2014. They not only have changed the processes of some issues but also have some serious impact on Armenia.
The political expert told Armenpress that seven years ago he gave an interview to the Ukrainian media, stating that Crimea will not ever belong to Ukraine. “I told that it will belong to Russia or Turkey and if Ukraine and the Russian Federation argue for Crimea, Turkey will benefit. And that would be better if Ukraine returns Crimea to Russia via a referendum, without any hostility and rupture of relations”, - said Levon Melik-Shakhnazarian, adding that first the Ukrainians did not comprehend the meaning of his words, though after the latest developments they got in touch with the expert and said that he was right.
Melik-Shakhnazarian believes that Crimea has a significant political importance and if Turkey wanted and managed to capture Crimea in a political and military way, it would mean that Armenia would appear in a complete blockade. “All our roads in all directions would have been closed. And Turkey never loses the opportunity to completely block Armenia, especially without a war”, - said the political expert Levon Melik-Shakhnazarian, stating that for Armenia it is more beneficial to see Crimea as a part of Russia.
