“The situation in Syria is somewhat chronic, meaning that people have already gotten used to it, sadly,” said Armenia's High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs Zareh Sinanyan during a press conference, referring to the situation of Armenian compatriots amid the clashes taking place between government and Kurdish forces in Syria.
“Our position is that it is much better in Armenia, and if you have that opportunity, and that opportunity has existed — meaning that peaceful conditions arise periodically — come and live in the Homeland, because the future is uncertain in Syria.
These clashes that are taking place in Aleppo are also quite serious clashes between government forces and Kurdish units,” he said, adding that they are in constant contact with their compatriots and are aware of all developments.
Days earlier, Syria’s Ministry of Defense had announced that a ceasefire had been established in Aleppo following several days of fierce clashes with Kurdish forces. At least 21 people were killed during the clashes between the Syrian Government army and Kurdish forces.
The Syrian army had completed clearing operations in Aleppo’s Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood, which means that Government forces control a significant part of the city, including areas previously controlled by Kurdish forces, Western media reported.
