Bucharest, (SANA) The Armenian community in Romania expressed
condemnation of the Turkey-backed terrorist groups' attack on the
Armenian-populated city of Kassab in Lattakia countryside.
In a statement, the community stressed the need to remind the
international community of the fact that the Armenians in Kassab,
located on Syria's northern border with Turkey, are undergoing
slaughter and displacement for the third time since the beginning of
the 20th century.
Having gone through an invasion by Turkish armed formations in 1909
which they fled and found in Lattakia a refuge for them, the Armenians
were pushed during the 1915 Armenian Genocide to a march of death
into the desert of Deir Ezzor, the statement highlighted.
Today, the statement added, the Armenians, on the eve of the 100
anniversary of the Genocide, found themselves once again forced to
leave their refuge on the border and move inside the city of Lattakia.
Mercenary terrorist groups launched an assault on Kassab on March
20, which was backed with Turkish firepower, forcing hundreds of its
residents to be displaced a third time leaving behind their houses
and properties.
The government of Recep Tayyep Erdogan facilitated the gunmen's entry
into Kassab and surrounding areas, which resulted in the demolition
and burning down of the residents' houses and worship places.
The Armenian community members called for an international condemnation
of the acts of violence perpetrated by the terrorist groups against
the Syrian people in general and the Armenians in particular.
In a relevant context, Syria's ambassador in Bucharest Walid Othman
discussed with the Bishop Datev Hagopian, the Primate of the Diocese
of the Armenian Church of Romania the acts of killing and destruction
committed in Syria with the direct support of Saudi Arabia, Qatar
and Turkey.
The meeting came out with an agreement to stage a national gathering of
the Syrian and Armenian communities in Romania next week in Bucharest
in a manifestation of support for Syria and rejection of the flagrant
interference of the Turkish government in the country and in Kassab
in particular.
