Expert: Fall of Palmyra city should awaken the world (video)
A1+ Company has interviewed expert in Arab studies Sargis Grigoryan. Can the United State change its attitude towards the Syrian government after the capture of the ancient city of Palmyra [by Islamic State] and help them in the fight against the IS. The expert does not expect dramatic changes. The fall of Palmyra came just days after IS captured the major Iraqi city of Ramadi. The capture of the ancient ruins at the World Heritage site next to the modern city of Palmyra has raised international alarm. IS militants have destroyed several sites in Iraq - most recently the ancient city of Nimrud, one of Iraq's greatest archaeological treasures.
