ALEPPO. – It is not possible to claim for sure that the
Armenian-populated districts are controlled by one of the conflicting
parties. There are permanent clashes in Aleppo districts. They pass
from authorities to opposition and vice versa, editor-in-chief of the
Lebanon-based Armenian newspaper Aztag Shahan Kandaharian told
Armenian News-NEWS.am.
As for the Syrian-Armenians, Kandaharian said that there is no big
flaw of refugees to Lebanon. There are several families who live with
their relatives temporarily, while their permanent moving to Lebanon
is out of question.
Earlier the agency informed referring to the Syrian sources that the
Armenian districts in Aleppo passed to the opposition as the
unofficial data claimed. However, other reports claimed that the
government forces are trying to resist the armed rebels, Syrian Sana
information agency reported.
