Seven ethnic Armenians have been kidnapped near the war-stricken Syrian city of Aleppo, local Armenian sources and the Foreign Ministry in Yerevan said on Tuesday.
A spokesman for a Syrian diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Zhirayr Reisian, told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am) that they as well as three other individuals were stopped and forced off a bus on their way from Lebanon's capital Beirut to Aleppo on Monday.
Armenia's Foreign Ministry identified five of those Armenians and said it is trying to clarify the others' names. The ministry said their whereabouts remain unknown.
