Tuesday, March 25, 18:26

Member of the Nagorno-Karabakh Parliament, veteran of the Nagorno-
Karabakh war Vahan Badasyan has suggested forming armed groups for
defending Armenians in the Syrian town of Kesab.

He said that he is ready to command such a group and urged all
Armenians having military experience to join him.

The Al-Nusra and Islamic Front terrorist groups have attacked Kesab
since Mar 21. Syrian government forces and Armenian self-defenders are
rebuffing the attacks, while Turkey is supporting the attackers. On
Sunday the Turkish air forces shot down a Syrian military jet that
was pursuing a group of terrorists.
