Armenian consulate only foreign outpost operating in Aleppo – FM

Armenian consulate is the only foreign diplomatic outpost still operating in Aleppo, despite life-threatening situation in the Syrian city, Foreign Minister said.

As Edward Nalbandian stated at parliament, “it’s important for Syria-based Armenians to know that our diplomatic representation is operating not only in Damascus but Aleppo as well, ready to offer help.”

Aleppo’s Armenian community listed 60000 people fore the crisis broke out. Outflow of Armenians from Syria followed anti-Assad rebellion, with dozens of Armenians killed.
