Armavia Continues Syria Flights As Fighting In Aleppo Rages On

Armenia's Armavia airline said that it still has no plans to cancel regular flights to Aleppo despite intensifying fighting there that left at least ethnic Armenian resident of the besieged Syrian city dead on Tuesday.

A spokesman for the Armenian Foreign Ministry told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am) that the 55-year Viken Kalayjian was gunned down in the morning. No other details of his death were immediately known.

Kalayjian is the eight Syrian citizen of Armenian descent reportedly killed since the start of the anti-government revolt in Syria more 17 months ago. Two of those victims were Syrian army conscripts.
