Two ethnic Armenians have been killed in Syria’s Damascus and Aleppo during the recent days as a result of clashes between Syria’s governmental forces and rebels.

Speaking to Tert.am, spokesman for Berio Diocese of the Armenian Church Zhirayr Reyisian said their death is not a result of targeted activities against the Armenian community.

“I am not aware of the details of the Damascus incident, but yesterday’s incident that killed an Armenian woman was the result of occasional shooting,” Reyisian said.

He said a young Armenian has been wounded as a result of blast in Aleppo.

Representative of the Armenian community of Aleppo said the situation during the recent two days has not changed and the conflict continues in the same way though the governmental forces managed to take control over certain regions, but the fight still continues.

“In spite of the problems with Internet and phone communications the situation in Aleppo has comparatively improved,” Reyisian said.

He said though the clashes are far from Armenian districts sometimes the fights occur there as well.

A 76-year-old woman Adelina Khacheryan has been shot dead accidentally on August 17, while on August 18 a 38-year-old ethnic Armenian was killed in Damascus.
