Armenian legal council: Terrorist acts strangled life in Kassab
Beirut, SANA _ The Beirut-based Arab Armenian International Law
Assembly appealed to the international community and relief
organizations to help the locals of Kassab town remove the massive
debris in their town that terrorists left behind.
Kassab is a scenic Syrian town near the border with Turkey that has a
predominately Armenian population.
Terrorists backed by the government of the Turkish Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan overran the town late last March, committing
crimes against the population there that drew an international outcry.
The Syrian army recaptured Kassab and declared it free of terrorists
in mid-June, restoring tranquility and peace to it.
In a statement, the Assembly said that a fact-finding mission that
recently visited Kassab and the nearby villages bore witness to the
"colossal damage" done to the locals' properties and the town's
infrastructure.
The Council lashed out at Erdogan's government for its role in the
offensive which, the statement said, "hides under the cloak of Islam."
"The acts of terrorists in Kassab have strangled every aspect of life
there and damaged the religious and cultural heritage of its locals,"
the statement pointed out, estimating the material damage in the town
at up to USD 1 billion.
