    ARMENIANS IN ROMANIA CONDEMN TURKEY-BACKED ATTACK ON KASSAB

    Bucharest, (SANA) The Armenian community in Romania expressed
    condemnation of the Turkey-backed terrorist groups' attack on the
    Armenian-populated city of Kassab in Lattakia countryside.

    In a statement, the community stressed the need to remind the
    international community of the fact that the Armenians in Kassab,
    located on Syria's northern border with Turkey, are undergoing
    slaughter and displacement for the third time since the beginning of
    the 20th century.

    Having gone through an invasion by Turkish armed formations in 1909
    which they fled and found in Lattakia a refuge for them, the Armenians
    were pushed during the 1915 Armenian Genocide to a march of death
    into the desert of Deir Ezzor, the statement highlighted.

    Today, the statement added, the Armenians, on the eve of the 100
    anniversary of the Genocide, found themselves once again forced to
    leave their refuge on the border and move inside the city of Lattakia.

    Mercenary terrorist groups launched an assault on Kassab on March
    20, which was backed with Turkish firepower, forcing hundreds of its
    residents to be displaced a third time leaving behind their houses
    and properties.

    The government of Recep Tayyep Erdogan facilitated the gunmen's entry
    into Kassab and surrounding areas, which resulted in the demolition
    and burning down of the residents' houses and worship places.

    The Armenian community members called for an international condemnation
    of the acts of violence perpetrated by the terrorist groups against
    the Syrian people in general and the Armenians in particular.

    In a relevant context, Syria's ambassador in Bucharest Walid Othman
    discussed with the Bishop Datev Hagopian, the Primate of the Diocese
    of the Armenian Church of Romania the acts of killing and destruction
    committed in Syria with the direct support of Saudi Arabia, Qatar
    and Turkey.

    The meeting came out with an agreement to stage a national gathering of
    the Syrian and Armenian communities in Romania next week in Bucharest
    in a manifestation of support for Syria and rejection of the flagrant
    interference of the Turkish government in the country and in Kassab
    in particular.
