The aim of our visit to Syria was to collect facts about the ongoing events and work out proposals so that our state will be able to support our compatriots, Heritage parliamentary faction secretary Tevan Poghosyan told reporters in Yerevan, urging all Armenian intellectuals, businessmen and politicians to visit Syria.
MP Edmon Marukyan, who also recently traveled to Latakia along with other Armenian lawmakers, stressed the importance of information campaign in support of the Armenians of Kessab, noting that there is information blockade in the world concerning the Syrian events and that the rights of Christian minorities are being violated in Syria. According to him, no Christians will remain in Syria if Assad’s regime is removed.
Speaking about their meetings with state officials in Latakia, Tevan Poghosyan said, “We met them to express our concern about the fate of our compatriots and to say that we are prepared to help them. They told us that every Armenian is a citizen of Syria, which is praiseworthy.”
