Armenia's Foreign Ministry deplored on Thursday the reported destruction of yet another Armenian church in Syria beset by a bloody civil war.
News reports from the northern Syrian city of Aleppo said the local 15th century Church of Forty Martyrs was targeted this week by rebel forces fighting government troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.
Some sources said the church located in the city's predominantly Christian Jdeydeh district was torn down by a powerful bomb placed underneath it. But others claimed that the destruction was caused artillery fire from rebel positions.
Tigran Balayan, the spokesman for the Foreign Ministry in Yerevan, commented on the "alarming reports" in a Twitter post. "The evil must be stopped," he wrote.
