BBC, Syrian Armenians
BBC’s From Our Own Correspondent radio program presents a report about
Syrian Armenians.
Yerevan, in Armenia, is the homeland of an international Diaspora
famous for its commercial sense and its willingness to go a long way
to explore new opportunities,”
Armenian emigre communities have sprung up across the world – and
certainly across the Middle East – but the Armenians of Syria have
come under particular pressure recently as the conflict there
escalates.
BBC’s Kieran Cooke spends time in a shoe shop with a family who
recently left Aleppo, and hears what they make of the current
situation.
The report reminds that Armenians once fled the Ottoman Empire in 1915
and settled in Syria, but now many are fleeing the conflict in Syria
and going back to Armenia.
