There are reports of intensive fighting continuing across Syria
with opposition forces claiming that at least 80 people were killed
on Friday.
It is claimed 21 of the victims died when mortars hit a Palestinian
refugee camp in the capital Damascus.
The country's second city Aleppo came under bombardment again by the
Syrian government forces.
As ever video cannot be independently verified but latest images
appear to show a chaotic situation in the ground in the city.
Meanwhile Armenians from a long-established community in Aleppo have
been fleeing back to Armenia.
"Don't believe what they tell you on TV", said one man. "Terrorists
are using force against people and the government is cleansing them."
"Our plight is terrible", another man added. "If it is God's will,
everything will be better in a week or two. We're hopeful that things
will be better in two weeks."
But judging by the amount of luggage some of the passengers were
bringing with them they could be in Armenia for a lot longer than
two weeks.
