A video footage that recently appeared on Facebook features Syrian oppositionists saying that a district in capital Aleppo is now under their occupation.

According the report, the Cilician Armenian College and the Armenian National Prelacy are situated a short distance from the district called Jdayde.

No one from Aleppo's Armenian community could be reached for comment, with the mobile and landline telephony and the Internet being unavailable in the city for already a week.

Speaking to Tert.am earlier, a spokesperson for the prelacy, Zhirayr Reisyan, confirmed the report on the death of two ethnic Armenians, without detailing whether they were killed in operations against the Armenian community or by an occasional gunshot.
 

According to him, the situation in Aleppo has not changed in the past couple of days, with the clashes continuing in the same spirit despite the government forces’ success to take control of several districts.

Reisyan said though the military operations are far from the Armenian districts, they sometimes reach there, resulting in short clashes.
