PanARMENIAN.Net – The situation in Aleppo keeps deteriorating, a
Syrian Armenian said.

`Bomb blasts and shootings are a common occurrence here. Planes
bombing Aleppo are seen in the air,’ Arsen Ekimian told a
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, adding that government forces suffer
ignominious defeat by rebels.

Aleppo-based Armenian addressed the `Outreach to Syrian Armenians’
Facebook page, voicing willingness to move to Armenia in early
September.

According to the Facebook page founder Anahit Adamyan, most
Aleppo-based Armenians are of the opinion that local Armenians are
unhappy for their return.

`I will do the utmost to make Syrian Armenians’ return to homeland
possible,’ Mr. Ekimian said.
