    AN OPEN LETTER TO MY FELLOW AMERICAN-ARMENIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS

    Aleppo now

    My cousin, a 60 years of age diabetic male, has been kidnapped from
    his own mechanic shop in Aleppo, Syria, by the Syrian opposition. For
    the last five months the opposition has been targeting the Armenian
    Christian minority in Aleppo, Damascus, Azez, and Der Zor. They
    have systematically destroyed Armenian churches, Armenian schools,
    nursing homes, and Armenian neighborhoods.

    I called my other cousin and could hear the bombs blasting at any
    hour of the day and night. The opposition is waging war against the
    Assad government, but Armenians have nothing to do with this war.

    Although loyal to their country's government, Armenians are also
    loyal to their neighbors, and humanity at large. My other cousin
    has been hiding in the basement of her daughter's house, in fear,
    with the house shaking from the

    Armenian Quarter of Nor Kyoogh

    blasts, afraid they can no longer live there. Just a day ago they
    blasted a huge truck in the middle of a courtyard in Aleppo, killing
    many innocent people. The government is not the force behind all
    this destruction-it is the Syrian opposition that we Americans are
    supporting.

    In 1915 Syria opened its arms when Ottoman Turks were annihilating
    Armenians and throwing them out of their homes of 3,000 years.

    One-and-a half million Armenians were systematically annihilated, and
    others walked through the Arabian deserts to make it to Syria. Since
    1915 Armenians have been building Aleppo, Azez, Latakia, Damascus,
    Kesab, Der Zor, and other parts of Syria. Armenians have their own
    private schools, churches, and community centers. Now in 2012,
    97 years after the Genocide, Armenians are being subjected to
    another mass trauma of murder, destruction, ransacking, kidnapping,
    and torture. The Syrian opposition is backed by Saudi Arabia, Qatar,
    and Turkey. Turkey has been selling arms to the opposition and finding
    any excuse to attack the border in northern Syria, which is populated
    by Christian minority Armenians. Turkey has taken advantage of this
    chaotic war situation and has destroyed the Genocide memorial and
    the Armenian Church in Der Zor.

    The opposition also threw elderly Armenian residents out of
    the Armenian Elders Home in Bostampasha and turned it into their
    headquarters to send bombs and missiles to destroy the rest of the
    Armenian community. These Armenian older adults had been thrown out of
    their homes at the beginning of their lives by Ottoman Turks, and now,
    once again, at the last stage of their lives, they are being thrown
    out of their homes by Syrian opposition forces and Turkish criminals.

    I am a humanitarian worker and President of the Meaningfulworld, a
    charitable organization, servicing the world in over 45 countries, and
    it hurts me in the core to not being able to go to Syria and help the
    surviving community that is in shell shock, experiencing severe trauma.

    Masbah Farook, Boostan Pasha

    Where is the UN Declaration for Human Rights? When we contacted the
    United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, their response
    was that their office is in the dark and cannot help. Where is justice?

    What can we do to stop this madness? Why is the opposition destroying
    the Armenian community? If they want to lead Syria, they should oppose
    the Syrian government and not attack innocent Armenian people who are
    the Christian minority. How many times does a nation gets displaced?

    Armenian Old Age Home, Boostan Pasha

    Please help in any way you can, pray for the Christian Armenian
    minority that is innocently being targeted by the Syrian opposition,
    hold prayer circles, send donations to help feed our Armenian family,
    talk with your congressional representative, tell him or her what
    is REALLY going on in Syria-a totally different story than what the
    opposition and mainstream media are broadcasting to convince the world.

    Please educate your circle of Americans and others so they will stop
    supporting and sponsoring the opposition.
