The Syrian Armenian Relief Fund
The Syrian Armenian Relief Fund released the following statement
Tuesday, appealing for continued support for Armenians in Syria.
For the past two years, Syria and our Armenian community in Syria have
been going through a crisis; our once self-sufficient and prosperous
community has been thrust into such a disastrous situation, that our
people have become in need of basic necessities.
>From the early days of the crisis, the Armenian community in the
Western U.S.A. united efforts to collectively provide moral and
financial support to meet the needs of our young and old bothers and
sisters in Syria. The greater community united under the auspices
of the Syrian Armenian Relief Fund (SARF) and the accomplishments
of the past year attest to the extent of our community members'
care and compassion.
Despite calls for peaceful resolution of the crisis, the situation in
Syria is not improving, on the contrary, it is under risk of further
deterioration. The Syrian people, including Armenians, are subjected
to further threats and innocent civilians and their neighborhoods
are being victimized with violence, which trample over every law and
principle, that guides humanity.
Just as during the beginning of the crisis, also today, the people
of the Western U.S.A., along with the rest of the Armenian people
worldwide, stand in solidarity of the suffering people of Syria,
including the Armenian residents.
We appeal to our compatriots to make tangible expressions of their
solidarity by contributing to SARF and raising funds to help alleviate
the suffering of our brothers and sisters and heal their wounds.
We also invite our community to participate in prayers for their safety
on Prayer Day, Sunday, September 15, 2013, at all of our churches.
We are still hopeful and we believe that this crisis will be over
and the people of Syria will find peace.
