    COMMUNITY STANDS UNITED BEHIND KESSAB ARMENIANS

    Wednesday, March 26th, 2014 | Posted by Contributor

    Kessab Armenians attend Sunday Mass after being evacuated to Lattakia

    GLENDALE--Leaders of the four Armenian religious denominations, the
    three political parties and the main Armenian relief organizations
    issued a joint announcement Tuesday pledging their united support
    for the Armenians of Kessab who came under attack late last week by
    Al-Qaeda militants who entered the border town from Turkey. Below is
    the text of the announcement:

    The Armenians of Western United States condemn the attacks, aided and
    abetted by Turkey, on the Armenian-populated town of Kessab and deem
    the forced evacuation of the population from the area unacceptable.

    The community demands that the White House and world governments take
    decisive steps to drive out the militants from Kessab and facilitate
    the safe return of residents to their homes.

    Our community pledges its complete solidarity with all
    Syrian-Armenians, especially the Armenians of Kessab, guaranteeing
    that it will continue to seek all available avenues without sparing
    any effort to ensure their survival.

    The leaders of the Armenian community and organizations mentioned below
    met and discussed ways to provide immediate and long-term assistance
    and support and reasserted their commitment to aid Syrian-Armenians. It
    was decided to call on the Syrian-Armenian Relief Fund (SARF) to
    continue its indispensable fundraising activities for the Syrian
    Armenians in general, and specifically for the needs of Kessab
    Armenians. We are confident that these efforts will be supported by
    the community.
