    #SaveKessab Campaign Gathers Pace as Blink 182ēs Travis Barker Gives Support


    By Duncan Riley

    The campaign to save the Syrian Armenian town of Kessab gathered pace
    today as Blink 182ēs Travis Barker gave support.

    Along with posting a #SaveKessab picture to his Instagram account, Barker wrote:

    #StopGenocide #SaveKessab I have a lot of Armenian friends I love &
    support that are like #FAMILY to me@mrfamouscheese @r_men818
    @famous_crow#ISupport

    Campaign supporters have been targeting celebrities and politicians
    alike on Twitter in an attempt to get the word out about a story most
    of the mainstream media is ignoring.

    As we wrote yesterday, the town was over run by Al-Qaeda aligned
    militants on March 21st.

    Reports are mixed on how many people were killed, with the most common
    number quoted being 80. The town has been looted, along with Christian
    churches being desecrated and destroyed.

    The town of Kessab has a strong historical significance for Armenians
    worldwide as the town was a center of forced deportation during
    Turkish Armenian genocide of 1915. The town was also part of the
    Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia in the 11th century.

    To join the campaign tweet the hashtag #savekessab on Twitter.
