    Aleppo's Armenian districts pass under control of Syrian government troops

    Aleppo's district, where the Armenian Apostolic Church Diocese
    building is located, has passed under the control of Syria's
    government troops, the source in Syria's Armenian community informed
    Armenian News-NEWS.am.

    But as Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, according to unofficial
    information, the Armenian district of Aleppo had passed under the
    control of Syria's rebel forces, Armenian News-NEWS.am's sources had
    informed.

    Contradictory information is coming in from Aleppo, since the Syrian
    government army is attempting to withstand the insurgents.

    The Internet and telephone connections are not operational, and it is
    impossible to establish a link with the Armenians living in Aleppo.
    According to our source, the Armenians are staying in their homes and
    are not going out into the street.

    To note, around 60,000 Armenians live in Syria, and great majority of
    them reside in Aleppo and Damascus.
