YEREVAN
Yerevan, August 9, ARMENPRESS: The Syrian rebels kidnapped the Aleppo
Armenian Hovsep Balmanukyan born in 1990 near the Lebanese border. As
the representative of the Syrian community Nazaret Elmajyan informed
"Armenpress", recently the kidnappings have become frequent, but they
are not specifically directed to the local Armenians. They usually
kidnap members of well-provided families in order to demand a ransom.
To Elmajyan's word Hovsep Balmanukyan is also a son of a financially
well-provided family.
There is also information that the rebels are demanding ransom for
the junior and the Syrian community has expressed willingness to help
the Balmanukyans.
"Armenpress" is trying to find out more detailed information on the
incident from the local Armenians.
The representative of the Syrian community has also informed that
the situation in Damascus is quite quiet; in Aleppo the situation
is also relatively moderate, because the government forces have done
great damages to the opposition in the last few days.
The Syrian SANA agency briefed that the government forces took the
Aleppo Salah ad Din district under control.
