The Armenian districts in Syria's capital, Aleppo, have come under the opposition's control, recent reports on the Internet suggest.
Speaking to Tert.am, a spokesperson for the city's Armenian Prelacy, Zhirayr Reisyan, said those districts are now facing clashes.
"Nothing about occupation is at issue, but there are clashes. They extend, for example, from the Jdayde district to al-Suleimanieh, occasionally reaching al-Midan," he said.
Reisian noted that despite the continuing clashes, the situation in the above districts (which are predominantly populated by Armenians) is not likely to result in a battle.
In a video message posted on Facebook on Monday, the Free Syrian Army said it was heading towards several districts. It asked the Christian population for assistance and non-interference in their operations.
