ALEPPO. - The Sourp Kevork (Saint George) Armenian Church, which was
burned down in Aleppo's Armenian populated Nor Kyugh (New Village)
district, will not be restored soon because there are constant fights
in the area, Press Secretary Jirair Reisian of the National Primacy
of Aleppo of the Armenian Apostolic Church told Armenian News-NEWS.am,
and he added that the Armenians had left the troubled district a long
time ago.
"News was received, several times ago, about the church being set on
fire, but it was denied later. Aside from the church, a considerable
damage is caused to the neighboring Mesrobian College. At present,
the district is deserted," Reisian said.
To note, the Syrian rebels organized a terrorist attack Monday in
Jaramana city in the greater Damascus metropolitan area and, as a
result of the explosion, two Armenians-Rana Salhap Kaladjian and Rana
Nanouf Mehmedjian-likewise were killed. An Armenian, by the name of
Anoush Apovian, was injured, but, after being administered first aid,
she was discharged from hospital.
