Three of the 20 Armenians kept in Turkish jail were set free after
midday today, and they have already reached Latakia, Deputy Chairman
of the Social Democratic Hunchakian Party (SDHP) Vazgen Mesropyan
said. Speaking to reporters in Yerevan, he said the events should be
condemned by the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and measures
should be taken to make the international community denounce the
attack.
Having learnt about the threat of terrorism, young Armenians of Kessab
managed to evacuate 650 families, Vazgen Mesropyan said, adding that
thanks to them it became possible to avoid casualties. Nevertheless,
20 Kessab Armenians - mostly elderly people above 80 - were kidnapped.
Vazgen Mesropyan said the events in Kessab were an act of terrorism.
He urged the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take measures
to reach condemnation of the events by the international community.
Mesropyan said he would like the international structures to apply
sanctions against Turkey, since the country was directly involved in
organizing the incursion into Syria.
A few days ago a group of Armenian lawmakers visited Latakia to meet
the Kessab Armenians and the Syrian authorities. SDHP Vice-President
said, however, that the assistance should be continuous. He is hopeful
the Syrian Army will soon liberate the regions currently controlled
by the terrorists.
