YEREVAN, JULY 13, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian Relief Society of Eastern
USA issued a statement on Syrian crisis and problems of
Armenians. `Armenpress' reports calling Armenian Weekly that the
statement runs as follows:
`An estimated 60,000 Armenians in Aleppo, Syria are affected by the
ongoing conflict in Syria. Thousands of Armenian families are facing
dismal food shortages as food prices have skyrocketed to unprecedented
levels.
The Armenian Relief Society of Eastern USA Board remains committed to
helping Syrian Armenians affected by the ongoing Syrian conflict and
resulted humanitarian crisis. We are extremely saddened by reports
that thousands of Armenian families in Aleppo presently are unable to
buy food and are in unsafe conditions. Weare following the heroic acts
of ARS Syria members.
During this period of extreme need, our region is compelled to support
our ARS Syria ungerouhiner, who have continued to provide humanitarian
assistance to the Armenian community, without regard for their own
safety. We must follow their lead and provide much needed financial
support.
We, Armenian Relief Society of Eastern USA Board of Directors, urge
the Eastern USA community to help us continue our relief efforts, act
quickly, and join us in our fundraising efforts.
Be part of the Syrian-Armenian relief efforts by making a
tax-deductible donation to this humanitarian cause and designate the
`Fund for Syrian Armenian Relief' as your program of choice. For more
information or to make a donation, visit www.arseastusa.org, call
(617) 926- 3801 or write to ARS Eastern USA Inc., 80 Bigelow Ave.,
Suite 200, Watertown, MA 02472'.
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.
