A big exodus of Armenians is expected from Aleppo in the near future
as the tensions in Syria continue, Armenia’s prime minister has said,
commenting on a possible war scenario in the country.

Speaking to reporters in Nagorno-Karabakh’s capital, Stepanakert,
Tigran Sargsyan warned that the expected displacements from Syria
may not be absolutely safe.

“We must clearly be ready for such developments to be able to receive
the Syrian-Armenians who have to somehow overcome the blockade. We
are discussing all the scenarios,” the Armenian service of RFE/RL
has quoted the premier as saying.
