June 6 2014
The Armenian Catholic archbishop of Aleppo, Syria’s largest city,
has told the Fides news agency that rebel rocket fire has damaged
his residence and a Catholic school.
“It was a pretty powerful missile which damaged the school and one
wing of the building, breaking the doors and shattering many windows,”
Archbishop Boutros Marayati told the Fides news agency. “Another
missile, less powerful, fell on our school yesterday.”
Despite the rocket attacks, Aleppo residents went to the polls to cast
their ballots in the June 3 presidential election. “All citizens are
for various reasons siding with [Bashar al-]Assad,” said Archbishop
Marayati. Assad, who has led the nation since 2000, won the election
with nearly 89% of the vote.
