The writer Pierre Bertoloh, a specialist in
Middle East affairs, said that the Russians are acting according to their
interests, stressing that they are not the cause of the Syrian crisis since its
inception.
He explained that Russia allied with the Syrian
state when Syrian President Bashar al-Assad asked them to intervene to confront
armed extremist organizations, stressing that without Russia's intervention,
Syria would be like Libya now.
Attending the seminar was a large host of
researchers and experts. They included Ahmed Youssef, Roland Lombardi, Pierre
Berthelot, Garen Shnorhokian. Several Middle East specialists from Europe also
attended the seminar, along with a large number of Arab and French journalists.
