Armenia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has confirmed reports that on October 29 ten passengers of a bus traveling from Beirut to Aleppo, among them seven Armenians, have been kidnapped.
Five of the Armenian passengers have been identified, said MFA spokesman Tigran Balayan. They are: Garo Pampalian, Arsen Aroyan, Levon Zeitounian, and father and son Bashar and George Rabat.
According to reports, armed men clad in black stopped the bus owned by Zeitouni Tours, an Armenian owned tour bus company half an hour before it was scheduled to reach Aleppo on Monday. They ordered women to leave the bus, after which they beat the remaining male passengers and took them away on a van.
