Dr Harry Hagopian on Syria Sanctions and Egypt Elections
As the season of Advent begins, the ever-evolving political, social and economic realities of the MENA region once again come into sharp focus for today's Middle East Analysis.
In a two-part podcast, Dr Harry Hagopian, the Bishops' Consultant on the Middle East, offers his unique, thought-provoking insight into the current regional power struggles and political manoeuvring with Syria and Egypt taking centre stage.
Dr Hagopian discusses:
· The Arab League's sanctions against Syria in light of the continued bloodletting in the country
· The UN report citing Syrian security forces for crimes against humanity
· Elections in Egypt, what this means to the country's people - particularly Coptic Christians
· A regional round-up looking at Yemen, Israel and Palestine
Dr Hagopian is an international lawyer and consultant to the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales on the Middle East. He's also a former Assistant General Secretary of the Middle East Council of Churches.
