Yerevan, July 23, ARMENPRESS: The representatives of the opposing
"Syrian free army" have announced their intention of capturing the city
of Aleppo. As "Armenpress" reports, it was mentioned by the "Syrian
free army's" Colonel Abdel Jabar Al-Okaydi in the statement posted
on YouTube. He also stressed that national and religious minorities
living in Aleppo should not have any concerns in those activities.
"Armenian or Assyrian, Kurdish or Druze, the Syrian army will
protect everybody", stated the Syrian Colonel. To his word the Syrian
opposition is also going to protect the Assad kinsfolk.
Meanwhile, the situation in Aleppo is still quiet. In the conversation
with "Armenpress" the representative of the Armenian community in Syria
Nazaret Elmajyan noted that the situation is still being controlled by
the forces loyal to Assad. Problems are mainly in three districts-Salah
El-Din, Alsakhur and Al-Haydaria", mentioned Elmajyan.
Aleppo is one of the most populated with Armenians cities, while
in the mentioned districts the Armenians are not particularly in a
large number.
According to the Syrian Human Rights Organization data 17 thousand
192 people died because of the Syrian 16 months ongoing clashes. The
Arab media reports that among the dead11 thousand 897 were peaceful
civilians, and 4348 were security officers. Among the victims there
were 7 Armenians, 2 of which were the Syrian Army militaries. The
Syrian riots make the Syrians leave the country appearing in other
countries as refugees. Recently the Armenian community representatives
also leave the country. The refugee status or asylum applications from
Syria are considered in an accelerated procedure, at least ten days.
The head of the State Migration Service Gagik Eganyan in response to
