    ARMENIAN FM: ATTACK ON KASAB AIDED BY ERDOGAN, SIT-IN OUTSIDE US EMBASSY IN YEREVAN

    Fars News Agency, Iran
    April 3 2014

    TEHRAN (FNA)- Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said the
    terrorist groups that attacked Kasab area in Lattakia countryside had
    sneaked across the Turkish border, aided and abetted by Erdogan-led
    government.

    Armenia has been doing its utmost to ensure the interests of
    compatriots in Syria, ITAR-TASS quoted the Armenian FM as saying.

    "We praise Russia's reaction to the events," Nalbandian said.

    Russia on Tuesday strongly condemned the brutal acts of terrorist
    groups in Syria, stressing that the "UN Security Council should discuss
    the massacre against Armenians in Kasab town in Lattakia and give a
    preliminary assessment. "

    "About 120,000 ethnic Armenians live in Syria - in Kasab and other
    areas. Armenians have been forced to leave Kasab and are temporarily
    staying in Lattakia. About 70-80 families have found shelter in
    churches," he added.

    Terrorist groups overran last week the Armenian-populated Kasab city
    in Lattakia countryside, backed by the government of the Turkish
    Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

    Armenians call on US Administration to condemn Erdogan's support to
    terrorists in Kasab

    Meanwhile, scores of Armenian citizens staged a sit-in outside
    the US Embassy in Yerevan, calling on US administration to condemn
    the support offered by Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the
    terrorist groups in Syria in general, and in Kasab in particular.

    "We came here to express our concern over the painful events in Kasab
    and we are waiting for Washington to clearly condemn behaviors of
    Turkey, the member of NATO," one of the participants in the sit-in
    told Journalists.

    Syrian citizens from Kasab participated in the sit-in, briefing the
    US Deputy Ambassador there on the events in Kasab, explaining to him
    the military support offered by Erdogan's government to the terrorist
    groups who attacked Kasab and perpetrated the crimes against civilians
    in the city.
