The U.S. Embassy in Armenia has issued the following statement on
the destruction of the Armenian Church in Syria.
“U.S. Embassy Yerevan joins the government and people of Armenia
in strongly condemning the destruction of the Armenian Church in Deir
Ez-zor, Syria.
This senseless act of destruction demonstrates yet again the utter
disregard the terrorist organization ISIL has for the rich religious
and cultural heritage of the Middle East.
As Secretary Kerry has stated, ISIL has systematically committed
abuses of human rights and international law and presents a global
terrorist threat. Faced with this threat, the United States urges the
international community to strengthen our united effort to degrade
and destroy ISIL.â€
