ALEPPO'S ARMENIAN NOR KYUGH NEIGHBORHOOD DECLARED A DISASTER ZONE
09:10 05.06.2014
The Armenian Press Office in Aleppo has issued an urgent call to
all Armenians.
We do hereby declare the Armenian "Nor Kyough" neighborhood in Aleppo
a DISASTER ZONE.
We appeal to our fellow Armenians all around the world to support the
immediate stopping of continuous inhuman rocket attacks on our area.
We need your support, by all means, for the physical security of
our people.

The continued rocket fire by rebel forces in the direction of the
mostly-Armenian-populated Nor Kyugh neighborhood of Aleppo has forced
officials to declare the area a disaster zone, and threatens the
survival of the city's Armenian community.
Incessant rocket fire from rebel forces, a significant number of which
are reportedly Turks or radical Islamists, continued in Nor Kyugh,
endangering civilians and causing massive destruction.
Residential buildings in Nor Kyugh have been destroyed or partially
demolished, while Armenian community centers and local businesses
have been damaged as a result of continued shelling.
Nor Kyugh residents are fleeing the neighborhood, some heading toward
the seaside city of Latakia, which is already overflowing with Armenian
refugees from the insurgence of Al Qaeda-affiliated terrorist groups in
Kessab earlier this spring. Others are seeking refuge in other parts of
Aleppo that are not currently under heavy rocket fire, while some are
relocating to the basement of the St. Gregory the Illuminator Church,
which was damaged earlier this week as a result of the rebel attacks.
Armenian community institutions in Nor Kyugh have also sustained
heavy damages, among them the Karen Jeppe Jemaran, the Zavarian and
Sahakian schools, as well as the Zavarian and Sahakian kindergartens,
the Armenian Catholic Holy Trinity and Zvartnots School, the Arevelk
print shop, the Armenian Relief Society's clinic and social service
center and residential building that are owned by the Prelacy.
Armenian-owned businesses and stores, as well as residences are either
in complete or partial destruction, making life unbearable for the
citizens of the town.
