Ethnic Armenians remaining in Aleppo are increasingly desperate to leave Syria's largest city ravaged by continuing fighting between Syrian government troops and rebels, according to some former members of their community now based in Armenia.
Hrayr Akvilian, a Syrian Armenian who took refuge in Yerevan three years ago, said on Monday that he and his friends are now exploring possibilities of evacuating them to Armenia without the assistance of the Armenian government and the leadership of the Aleppo community. He said they could specifically seek to raise funds needed to finance expensive journeys out of Syria.
