The Armenian community of Istanbul did not stay indifferent to the
problems of Syrian-Armenians who face a difficult situation due to the
Syria crisis, Agos Weekly of Istanbul reported.
A group of Armenians living in Istanbul came up with an initiative to
assist Syrian-Armenians who have fled to Armenia, the newspaper said.
Kenan Yenice, one of organizers, called on Istanbul Armenians to send
warm clothes to Syrian-Armenians who are now in Armenia.
`Winter is approaching and the air temperature is low. Armenians who
fled Syria did not have time to take warm clothes with them. We will
collect warm clothes and send them to Armenia,’ he was quoted as
saying.
