  • Syrian-Armenians Seek Safety In Ancestral Homeland - Politician

    SYRIAN-ARMENIANS SEEK SAFETY IN ANCESTRAL HOMELAND - POLITICIAN

    16:37 30.08.13

    The deputy leader of the opposition Free Democrats party has called
    for state efforts to offer a better protection to the compatriots
    from Syria who seek safety in their ancestors' homeland amid the
    continuing tensions in the country.

    At a news conference on Friday, Anush Sedrakyan said the big Armenian
    community in capital Damascus offers no guarantees that Armenia will
    increase those people's state and political security in case of a war.

    "Those 70,000 Armenians in Damascus are citizens of the Syrian state,
    so it is Armenia's obligation to provide them with a secure homeland
    to save their lives. And that can be done in the frameworks of both
    human rights conventions and domestic patriotism," she said.

    As for the impacts of a possible war, the politician said losses will
    be inevitable though they will be very little in number. "Everything
    will be done to identify the sources of the chemical weapons and
    reduce the blows to the local level," she said, noting that the US
    analytical thought has its reservations with regard to the issue.

    "First, any blow be it though a limited one - will leave innocent
    victims behind, and that's inevitable. Secondly, there's no guarantee
    that the more aggressive Jihadist regime will not come to power,"
    she said, adding that those concerns will cause the United States to
    restrict its operations in Syria.
