With no end in sight to the bloody civil war in Syria, the exodus of thousands of ethnics Armenians remaining there may be only a matter of time, Armenia’s Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakobian acknowledged on Wednesday.
Signaling a major policy shift in Yerevan, Hakobian said the Armenian government should now start discussing ways of helping to evacuate Syrian Armenians willing to leave the country and the war-ravaged city of Aleppo in particular.
“Unfortunately, a lot has been lost. What we are hearing now are the last desperate cries,” Hakobian told RFE/RL’s Armenian service (Azatutyun.am) in an interview on the plight of the once thriving Syrian Armenian community.
