"one thing that is always overlooked in all analyses is the role of the army (artesh). The army will stay politically neutral as it has during the past 27 years.

The massacre of the political prisoners in 1988 will most likely qualify as a crime to be considered by such tribunal. This is an area where the exile opposition can make a huge difference."
