Syrian journalist and analyst Hakob Mikaelyan noted that the ‘whys’ related to Syrian conflict are numerous and the answers to the questions are not found yet.

Political analyst Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan shed a light on the reasons of Russia’s participations in the Syrian conflict.

According to him, Moscow realized that if not presented in this or that way in the Middle East, it would lose its influence in the Black Sea region, Eastern Europe, where NATO sets up defense systems to strengthen its military presence.

“They realized that they should strike at Syria, thus not allowing the conflict to reach Russia.

Second, the situation in Syria allows the West to reduce the oil prices via the illegal oil flow and hit the Russian economy.

The official Moscow realizes that by stopping the illegal oil flow, it can save its economy from the threats coming from Syria.”
