Homs Armenians forced to flee homes
10:35 • 01.06.12
Following the Houla massacres that left over 100 people dead, the Islamic forces in Homs are urging the local Armenians to leave their homes.
They reportedly walk from house to house in Syria’s Armenian populated city, forcing the Christians to leave their abodes immediately.
Aid to the Church in Need is going to render a $60 monthly assistance to each Armenian family in Homs. They are also hopeful to organize the refugees’ return to their houses.
The Christian Armenian community suffered losses as a result of a May 19 attack against the Armenian church and school. Catholicos Aram I of the Great House of Cilicia has condemned the violence. The Isahakyan church and an Armenian school in the city’s Christian- populated district are now serving as a shelter and hospital for the Syrian rebels.
So far, 50,000 Syrian Christians have fled to Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Turkey. All the rest are said to have found a shelter in an Aleppo-based Jesuit refugee assistance center.
