The Armenian community of Aleppo is not reportedly facing threats
amid the continuing armed attacks in the city.
The clashes are said to be far from the Armenian districts, though
the smoke and noise are not out of their sight and hearing.
Despite the extremely tense situation in the city, Armenians are in
safer areas.
Clashes were reported yesterday on the way leading to the city's
airport. But the scheduled Yerevan-Aleppo flight was carried out,
though with a little delay.
The Free Syrian Army announced on Monday that it had launched a direct
attack on the capital city, after occupying the surrounding districts.
The Army's colonel, Abdel Jabbar al-Oqaidi, said in a YouTube address
that they are planning to seize Alleppo from Assad.
He also pledged to support the civilian population, including the
Christian Armenians, Assyrians, as well as the Alevis, Shahs and
Druzes.
Representatives of Aleppo's Armenian community told Tert.am on Monday
that the city had become deserted, with only the government forces
marching in the streets in an attempt to find and destroy the armed
rebels' shelters.
