Armenian government is trying to find out who opened fire at the
Syrian-Armenians near Aleppo airport, Armenia’s special envoy to
Syria Levon Sargsyan said speaking to Tert.am.
He refuted the information about evacuation of residents of the
Armenian-populated Nor Gyugh district of Aleppo, saying the news does
not correspond to reality. “There is nothing like that. At least
I do not possess such information,” he said, adding that he is in
permanent touch and would have known about it.
On September 13 Tert.am was reported from Aleppo that the Syrian
government has called on the residents of the Armenian-populated
district to leave their apartments. The government forces warned they
were going to use heavy weaponry to strike the rebels.
Four Syrian Armenians were killed, 10 wounded while heading home from
Aleppo airport after arriving there from Yerevan.
“We are still specifying the circumstances of the incident. We were
promised to be informed who attacked the Armenians,” Levon Sargsyan
said.
