United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay has
replied to Armenian Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandian’s letter in
which he expressed concern about the situation around the
Syrian-Armenian town of Kessab and neighboring villages which were
attacked by Islamist militants last month.
Pillay said that her regional human rights control team followed the
situation and had already spoken with many families, who had been
evacuated as a result of the attacks.
The UN official gave assurances that the human rights situation in
Kessab and neighboring villages will be included in the upcoming
report of the UN Secretary-General according to Security Council
Resolution 2139.
