Despite heavy fighting in the Syrian city of Hasakah, 60 Armenian families are still living in the town, Arevelk reports.
Situated in the far north-eastern corner of Syria, the city was trapped in fighting between the Kurdish forces and troops loyal to President Bashar-al-Assad.
As the Syrian air forces hit Kurdish positions in the city, the United States declared it will send fighter aircraft in support of the Kurdish forces.
According to a source from the Syrian city of Al-Qamishli situated nearby, Armenians in Hasakah are relatively safe.
However, heavy battles were staged in a number of neighborhoods where Armenians live.
The source also said that those in Al-Qamishli are instructed to host Armenians from Hasakah should the latter decide to evacuate the city.
