The Syrian government and opposition forces have been caught up in
heated clashes in the Armenian village of Yakubie, a spokesperson for
the Armenian Prelacy of Beirut, Zhirayr Reisiyan, told Tert.am.
Clashes are also going on in other Christian villages and their
neighboring regions. The conflicting sides have reported on the great
number of human losses and injured people, as well as material
damages.
Yakubie has two Armenian churches, St. Anna and St, Hripsime, as well
as an Armenian school. There have been unconfirmed reports that a
construction belonging to St. Anna has been seized by the opposition.
The situation in Aleppo, which has a big Armenian community, is
relatively calmer today. The electricity supply has been partially
restored, but the city still faces a shortage of bread. Charity
organizations are said to be distributing foods in the streets to
mitigate the situation.
