YEREVAN, JULY 30, ARMENPRESS: In the Armenian districts of Aleppo
the situation during the recent period has been quiet and no new
incidents have occurred. This was reported to Armenpress by the
Press Secretary of the National Primacy of Aleppo Zhirayr Reyisyan:
"In general no fights occur in our districts. Short term collisions
take place in Aleppo but they are far from the Armenian districts".
Concerning the release of the two kidnapped teenagers on the
Turkish-Syrian border, the Press Secretary of the National Primacy
of Aleppo said that he had no clear information about it. "I knew
that they should have been released and returned to Syria today,
but for now I do not know if they have already returned or not", -
said Zhirayr Reyisyan.
During the last week the Syrian Armenians suffered considerable
losses: in the result of the bus attack an Armenian woman was killed,
17 people were wounded. A child was wounded by a random bullet and
on July 26 four Armenian men were kidnapped by the militants and
Armenian women were directed to a pub in a Turkish province instead
of coming to Yerevan. On July 28 in the morning a small bus left from
Aleppo to Turkey, in which there were 3 Armenian families - 7 women
and 2 teenagers. On the Turkish border the bus was made to stop. The
militants kidnapped the 14 and 12-year-old children and released the
women, who are in Turkey now. Recently we got information that the
teenagers were released and left for Syria.
By the UN data, during the two-year bloodshed in Syria by April 2013
more than 100 thousands of people have fallen victims. Currently 4,5
million refugees live in Syria and 1,5 million - in the neighboring
countries. Several tens of Armenians have been killed in the result of
the collisions. Notwithstanding that difficult situation, many Syrian
Armenians continue leaving in Syria. The governmental forces try to
liberate Aleppo from the opposition. Every day heated collisions
and bombings are taking place, causing sufferings of the peaceful
population, the Armenians as well.
