Dear Prime Minister:
I am writing to bring to your attention the urgent matter concerning
the Syrian Armenian community of Kassab. The Armenian-populated region
of Kassab has been the location of a recent attack in Syrian territory
from Turkey by Al Qaeda linked fighters.
The region of Kassab is an ancient Armenian area of Cilicia. The
area has been populated by Armenian population for over one
thousand years. Although the region has been under disputes by
various countries, the inhabitants have been persecuted through
different regimes. The people of the area have lived there until this
week’s evacuation. The Armenian Christian had to completely
flee the region.
Al Qaeda has taken control of Kassab and the surrounding Christian
and Alawite villages. They are threatening to kill all Christians
and Alawites found in those communities.
Canada must take all possible measures in its power and act to prevent
a humanitarian catastrophe.
Canada must ask all sides to immediately respect the inhabitants of
the region and allow them to return to their homes.
There are reports that the perpetrators entered from the Turkish border
into the region. Canada should ask Turkey to secure its border and
prevent any incursions into the area. Depriving al Qaeda of its safe
havens and removing the element of religious extremism and ethnic
hatred from the conflict, this will allow the people of region to
choose their destiny without fear that a change in government would
lead to genocide of its Christian and Alawite population.
Canada should take a principal stand and assist the evacuated
population of Kassab which is now living in difficult circumstances.
Canada must act now to prevent further complications in the region.
Yours sincerely,
