В Алеппо похитили 7 армян и подожгли армянскую церковь св.Геворг

За последние дни ситуация в армянонаселенном сирийском Алеппо резко обострилась.

Как сообщил в беседе с корреспондентом АрмИнфо пресс-секретарь Берийской епархии Армянской апостольской церкви Жирайр Реисян, повстанцы похитили 10 человек, семь из которых армяне, остальные  три арабы-христиане. По неофициальным данным, оппозиционеры требуют от правительственных войск освободить 150 пленных повстанцев, после чего они отпустят на свободу заложников.  Кроме того, сообщил Реисян, 29-ого октября повстанцы подожгли армянскую церковь св.Геворг и церковную семинарию Месропян, в которой располагались также армянский детский сад и школа. Реисян подчеркнул, что Берийская епархия ААЦ строго осуждает подобное нечеловеческое отношение к святыням.

Отметим, что за весь период гражданской войны в Сирии погибли порядка 40 армян.
