Following the Houla massacres that left over 100 people dead,
the Islamic forces in Homs are urging the local Armenians to leave
their homes.
They reportedly walk from house to house in Syria's Armenian populated
city, forcing the Christians to leave their abodes immediately.
Aid to the Church in Need is going to render a $60 monthly assistance
to each Armenian family in Homs. They are also hopeful to organize
the refugees' return to their houses.
The Christian Armenian community suffered losses as a result of a
May 19 attack against the Armenian church and school. Catholicos
Aram I of the Great House of Cilicia has condemned the violence. The
Isahakyan church and an Armenian school in the city's Christian-
populated district are now serving as a shelter and hospital for the
Syrian rebels.
So far, 50,000 Syrian Christians have fled to Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq
and Turkey. All the rest are said to have found a shelter in an
Aleppo-based Jesuit refugee assistance center.
