    ATTACKERS ON KESAB IN SYRIA CAME FROM TURKEY - ARMENIAN FM

    The Voice of Russia
    April 3 2014

    Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian addressed
    UNSecretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressing concerns about the fate
    of ethnic Armenians from Syria's city of Kesab: more than 600 local
    Armenian families had to leave their homes for Latakia following the
    seizure of the city by armed extremist groups.

    According to the document, all available evidence as well as the
    geographical position of Kesab indicate that the latest attacks were
    launched by the terrorist groups related to al-Qaeda, which crossed
    the Turkish border. Violence against the civilians of Kesab has led to
    forced deportation of the population. Radical groups desecrated the
    Armenian temples of Kesab and inflicted substantial loss on people's
    property. These actions could be qualified as gross violation of
    human rights, stressed the Armenian Foreign Minister. These horrific
    armed assaults put the realization of 2139 and 2118 Syria's peace
    resolutions, passed by the United Nations Security Council, at
    significant risk.

    Nalbandian wrote to the UN Secretary General that Armenia had
    repeatedly called for the protection of ethnic and religious minorities
    in Syria. As the humanitarian crisis continues, Turkey should undertake
    all the necessary measures to prevent Turkey-Syria border-crossing
    by radical militant groups. Armed violence against civilians should
    be resolutely condemned, according to Nalbandian. The international
    community should guarantee the security of forced migrants, including
    Armenians, provide them with humanitarian aid and create all the
    necessary conditions for the return to their homeland.

    Russia's representatives urged the United Nations to conduct an
    investigation regarding the latest events in Kesab. Russia also has
    intentions of providing humanitarian assistance to refugees in Latakia.
