primacy of Aleppo Jirayr Reisyan commenting the information spread in
internet according to which agedly the institution named `Supreme
Council of Revolution' treats Armenian community for protecting the
Government of Bashar Assad. `The internet does not operate in Syria
and we should not take into consideration that information. About such

any of the sides. Our support and respect is dedicated to Syria and
its nation which has one aim - to return the peace in Syria' mentioned
Reisyan. Reisyan did not exclude the Turkish factor in spreading such
information. `It is clear that the opposition side directly enjoys the
sponsorship of Turkey but such news can not turn into official. All
these can be directed to the infringement of relations between
Armenians and Arabs' he stressed. Speaking about the current situation

there were explosions and now from time to time shootings are heard
but at this moment there are not concrete actions in Armenian

and telephone connection have been restored, the state tries to secure
the population with all that' mentioned Reisyan. In result of clashes
between opposition and Governmental forces in Syria more than ten
Armenians have died and two of them were soldiers of Syrian Army.
During the last period representatives of Armenian community of Syria
also began to leave the country. The applications submitted from Syria
by our compatriots are being envisaged by accelerated procedure, at
