Armenian community of Syria is leading a relatively calm life, the
riots did not affect us. Syria's Armenians reside mainly in Damascus
and Aleppo, a representative of Syria's Armenian community, a member
of the Union of Arab Writers said.
As Nora Arisian noted in a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter, no disorders were observed in Damascus and Aleppo.
At the same time, she remarked that the members of the Armenian
community have no intention to leave the country. "About 10000
Armenians reside in Syria; 6000 of them in Damascus; 4000 in Aleppo,"
she said.
Syria's Armenians always supported President Bashar al-Assad. At
present there's concern that the pro-Islamic opposition may start
persecution of Syria-residing Christians.
