Reports on the Armenian family killed in Syria fighting have not been confirmed, press service of Armenian Foreign Ministry reported.

Aztag daily earlier reported that dead bodies of six Armenians were found in a mosque in Damascus.

The Syrian conflict has claimed between 14,000 and 20,000 lives since March 2011, according to estimates by various opposition groups and the UN. The West is pushing for Assad’s ouster, while Russia and China are trying to prevent outside interference in the country, claiming the Assad regime and the opposition are both to blame for the bloodshed.
