DIFFICULT DAYS AHEAD FOR KESSAB ARMENIANS
March 26, 2014 | 11:26
The Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (SDHP) joins Armenians around
the world that revolt and follow with a deep concern the fate of
Syria's predominantly Armenian-populated town of Kessab and its
Armenian population.
"Kessab would not have become an arena of conflict without the
participation of the Turkish authorities, forcing our compatriots to
expatriate yet again.
"[But] the sole comfort is that they were able to get to safe places
without the loss of human lives. Nonetheless, difficult days await
our compatriots, and they long for moral and material assistance.
"To that end, we urge our compatriots to redouble their efforts so
that our compatriots [in Syria] are able to surmount these severe
ordeals," the SDHP statement specifically reads.
In the early morning on March 21, armed militants from the Jabhat
al-Nusra Islamic terrorist group infiltrated into northern Syria's
Latakia Governorate, which is predominantly inhabited by Armenians and
Alawites. Two large groups of terrorists had launched the attack from
Turkey. Numerous displaced Kessab Armenians are currently sheltered
in Latakia city. On March 23, Turkish fighter planes downed in Kessab
a Syrian military aircraft that was conducting a mission against the
Islamic terrorists.
