Armenian Apostolic Church transfers $100 thousand to Kessab Armenians
The social fund approved during the Ecclesiastical Assembly of the Armenian Apostolic Church has transferred today $100,000 to the account of the Great House of Cilicia for assistance of the Kessab Armenians, according to Information Services of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin.
We would remind you that on the morning of March 21 the Armenian-populated town of Kessab and nearby settlements in northwestern Syria were attacked by militants from Al-Nusra Front and Islamic Front organizations who crossed into Syria from the territory of Turkey. About 700 Armenian families were evacuated from Kessab to Latakia.
