Two ethnic Armenians have been killed in Syria's Damascus and Aleppo
during the recent days as a result of clashes between Syria's
governmental forces and rebels.
Speaking to Tert.am, spokesman for Berio Diocese of the Armenian
Church Zhirayr Reyisian said their death is not a result of targeted
activities against the Armenian community.
`I am not aware of the details of the Damascus incident, but
yesterday's incident that killed an Armenian woman was the result of
occasional shooting,' Reyisian said.
He said a young Armenian has been wounded as a result of blast in Aleppo.
Representative of the Armenian community of Aleppo said the situation
during the recent two days has not changed and the conflict continues
in the same way though the governmental forces managed to take control
over certain regions, but the fight still continues.
`In spite of the problems with Internet and phone communications the
situation in Aleppo has comparatively improved,' Reyisian said.
He said though the clashes are far from Armenian districts sometimes
the fights occur there as well.
A 76-year-old woman Adelina Khacheryan has been shot dead accidentally
on August 17, while on August 18 a 38-year-old ethnic Armenian was
killed in Damascus.
