10000 ARMENIAN CHRISTIANS HAVE LEFT IRAQ SINCE 2003

(AGI) Baghdad – At least 10 thousand Armenian Christians have fled
Iraq after the 2003 US-led invasion, said Father Shahinian, head of
the Orthodox Church. On the Orthodox Christmas Day Shahinian said he
feared “immature” ideas could take over the country “with a negative
impact on the safeguard of minorities”. The Armenian Christian Church
and faithful in Iraq are mainly present in Baghdad, Niniveh, Kirkuk,
Basrah and Dohuk. . .
