WASHINGTON, DC -- Representative Brad Sherman (D-CA) released the
following statement on the attacks on Armenian civilians in Kessab,
Syria.
"I am deeply concerned by the dire situation in Kessab, Syria.
Extremist forces have reportedly crossed the border from Turkey into
Kessab, an area inhabited mostly by Armenians. Hundreds of families
have been forced to leave their homes for fear of their safety. There
are reports that the forces entering Kessab are desecrating churches
and pillaging Armenian homes. I have been in contact with the State
Department and have urged them to take the necessary actions to
assist the Armenians in Syria. Turkey must take immediate action to
help prevent extremist attacks on Armenian civilians."
