YEREVAN.- Everything told about situation in Syria has no connection to real developments, said editor of Armenia-based Zhamanak newspaper.

Arman Babajanyan, editor-in-chief of Zhamanak newspaper and 1in.am website, returned from Syria on Tuesday.

Although filming is banned in the streets, Syrian Embassy allowed Babajanyan and his two reporters to make videos.

“The Armenian community is in fear. Those leaving the community are considered betrayers by some people. This is the reason many Syrian-Armenians are afraid of being caught on camera here in Armenia. They believe Armenian citizens do not want them to come,” Babajanyan said.

He believes Armenian Foreign Ministry together with Diaspora Ministry should release a statement so that people can understand the rumors are untrue.
