PanARMENIAN.Net – Syrian rebels kidnapped an Aleppo-based Armenian
Hovsep Balmanoukian (born in 1990) on border with Lebanon, a Syrian
Armenian said, preferring to remain anonymous.
As he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, USD 20 thous. ransom is demanded.
“In all probability, parents will pay the ransom after being rejected
to reduce the price,” the Syrian Armenian said.
“According to the provided information, Syria’s Armenian community has
voiced readiness to pay the ransom,” the founder of “Outreach to
Syrian Armenians” Facebook page, writer/publicist Anahit Adamyan told
PanARMENIAN.
