YEREVAN, AUGUST 7, ARMENPRESS: The shootings on August 6-7which took
place near districts of Aleppo which are mostly populated by Armenians
are not directed against Armenians. Armenpress was informed about this
from the press secretary of national primacy of Aleppo Jirayr Reisyan.
"This morning I woke up from the sounds of shootings which are very
close to Armenian populated districts. The clashes and shootings which
are continued at this moment take place in the centre of the city
where live many Armenians but they can not be named Armenian districts"
highlighted Reisyan. He had a difficulty to mention whether the panic
has increased among Syrian Armenians or not as they can not come out
of the houses.
"Only after this tension we can talk with Armenians. Though these
attacks are not directed against Armenians but clashes can be
difficult for Armenians too" mentioned Reisyan. He said that there
is not any direct damage to Armenian institutions and churches. He
also rejected the rumors about the fact that Saint Gevorg Armenian
Church had stopped operating.
According to Syrian centre of Human Rights Defense Organization the
ongoing clashes have resulted in the death of over 19000 people. By
the info of Arab mass media more than 12000 were peaceful civilians,
while more than 5000 were security officers. Among the victims there
were 7 Armenians, 2 of which were the Syrian Army militaries. Because
of lasting disturbances in Syria a number of people are leaving the
country, getting refugee status in other countries. Recently Syrian
Armenian Community representatives are also quitting the state. The
applications submitted from Syria by our compatriots are being
envisaged by accelerated procedure, at least within ten days.
