YEREVAN, JUNE 2, ARMENPRESS: Details on the death of the
Syrian-Armenian soldier have shocked the entire Armenian community. It
is already known that Damascus-based soldier Levon Kuyumjyan has not
been killed from a fire shot by rebels in the territory of Bab al
Hawa, but in consequence of cruel tortures.

It became clear that the 22-year-old Armenian young man had been
tortured after his body was handed to parents, representative of
Armenian community of Syria Nazareth Elmadzyan told Armenpress.

About the 15-month-long clashes in Syria between the governmental and
opposition forces have had their hard consequences for the
Syrian-Armenian community. Four Armenians have fallen victims to the
clashes that are intensifying day by day.

Serviceman Vigen Hayrapetyan and Aleppo resident Araxi Petrosyan have
been killed in consequence of the explosions in Aleppo. 57 year-old
Raffi Karjyan has been killed in his house in Holms. Levon Kuyumjyan
has added to their number.
