The Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun (ARFD) has
condemned the recent attacks on Kesab, a Syrian town with mostly
Armenian population.
'The party says that the rebels fighting in Syria pose a big threat to
the Christian minority. "The attacks on Kesab have proved once again
that Turkey is inclined to encourage violence in Syria. This is the
third time in the last century that the Kesab Armenians are forced
to leave their homes and each time Turkey was either the attacker
or the sponsor of the attacks. So, we urge the world community to
put an end to Turkey's anti- Armenian policy and to help the Kesab
residents to return to their homes," the ARFS says.
In its turn, Social Democrat Hunchakian Party has urged Armenia's
Foreign Ministry to protect the Kesab Armenians and to call on the
world community to force Turkey to stop its genocidal campaign against
peaceful Armenians.
During a meeting of the Armenian Parliament today MP Tevan Poghosyan
said that the attacks on Kesab might ruin one of the oldest Armenian
communities in the Middle East and asked Speaker of the Parliament
Hovik Abrahamyan what the Armenian authorities were going to do to
about that. Abrahamyan advised inviting the Armenian FM so he could
present the situation. "However, we have no authority to interfere
in the internal affairs of another state," he said.
The Al-Nusra and Islamic Front terrorist groups have attacked Kesab
since Mar 21. Syrian government forces and Armenian self- defenders
are rebuffing the attacks, while Turkey is supporting the attackers.
