The Syrian opposition is trying to gain over the Armenian community
in Aleppo. Syrian Mass Media reports that the Syrian Free Army has
disseminated a statement on Facebook for the Armenians of Aleppo. The
army, particularly, informs Aleppo residents that it moves towards the
districts Al-Azizia, Jamilia and Al-Midan. The Army asks the Christian
communities in Aleppo to support the Free Army fighters and do not
create any obstacles to them, as they are in Aleppo "to liberate
them".

The government troops, in turn, throw down leaflets from helicopters
in Aleppo urging the fighters to surrender. The leaflets say that the
Syrian authorities promise to save the lives of all the members of
"terrorist gangs" who will cease arms voluntarily and surrender
themselves to the nearby army posts. Moreover, the Syrian authorities
guarantee that the mercenaries from other countries "will be
repatriated to their motherlands and to their families" after relevant
interrogation.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry has warned the Aleppo residents "of the
danger of contacts with terrorists." The citizens are recommended not
to let terrorists to their homes.
