ARMENIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY GAVE NO RESPONSE TO DEVELOPMENT IN SYRIA - VAZGEN MESROPIAN
15:00 / 31.03.2014
As of today 22 Kessab Armenians are kidnapped and taken to the
newly-built prison near the border with Turkey. The fate of 11 is
unknown, all they are adults. It has become known today that three
of them will be released and later the day will be in Latakia,
deputy head of Social-Democratic Republican party Armenia office,
Syrian Armenian Vazgen Mesropian told the reporters on Monday.
He said the houses of Armenians have been robbed by the Al Qaeda
group that entered the settlement from Turkey.
"Luckily, the Armenian young people guarding the border felt the
danger and moved the Armenian families to Latakia but people in
haste and panic left their mobile phones. The terrorists take them
and call to the contacts in the phone list threatening people and
their relatives," Mesropian said.
He also stressed that the photos of beheaded people have no relation
to Kessab and no Kessab Armenian has been killed.
The speaker stressed that during a week all the Armenian-populated and
Christian settlements have been shelled. "For already a week we have
no communication with Aleppo, there is no electricity there. Kessab
is very dear place for us, but we must not forget about Aleppo and
the Armenian there. The Syrian Armenians and the people of Syria are
convinced that Syria's powerful army will return all the occupied
territories. It is terrorism and the worst thing is that the world
is just an observer," he said.
He stressed that Armenia's Foreign Ministry must complain against
Turkey in international establishments. "We must have courage, the
foreign minister must send a letter to international establishments,"
he said, adding that the MPs departed on the site, met with Bashar
Al-Assad and that's it and what next?
"The foreign ministry gave no response voicing just condemnation,"
Mesropian said.
