Captivated Armenians from Kessab to be moved from Turkish Vakf to Beirut
After a violent attack on Syrian Kessab – a majority Armenian town, the Armenians forcibly moved to the Turkish village Vakf, on May 15, will be moved to Beirut.
“Artsakhpress” was informed about this by the Minister of Diaspora of the Republic of Armenia Hranush Hakobyan. "We were working with the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Armenian organizations in Lebanon and Syria. Our point is that 5 more persons joined the 22 who expressed a desire to reunite with their families, the families are not in Armenia, that is why they should reach either Beirut, or Latakia. According to our sources, since they had no documents, these days they had received documents to be able to move, tomorrow, May 15, they must pass to Beirut" – said the Minister.
The Ministry had earlier appealed to the Armenian Delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross, handing over the list of all Kessab-Armenians who are in Turkey, and had asked for help to reunite the Kessab-Armenians with their families.
