Aleppo-based Armenian killed in Syria

Aleppo-based Armenian Hovsep Abgarian died in the neighborhood of Syria’s Jable city, Foreign Ministry spokesman said.

The incident occurred 2-3 days ago, with the Armenian identified only now. Abgarian was reported among the four killed in the shootings, with the three others of Arab nationality.

As Tigran Balayan told PanARMENIAN.Net, the identity of eight dozens found dead near Aleppo’s river Kueyk has not been specified yet.

According to the UN data, over 40 Armenians have already died in Syria clashes in the past 22 months.
