President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan will issue a statement with respect to the ongoing events that are unfolding in Syria’s predominantly Armenian-populated town of Kessab.

The statement is expected at The Hague Conference Center, Armenia Presidential Press Secretary Arman Saghatelyan tweeted.

As reported earlier, in the early morning on March 21, armed militants from the Jabhat al-Nusra  terrorist group infiltrated from Turkey into northern Syria’s Latakia Governorate, which is predominantly inhabited by Armenians and Alawites. Numerous displaced Kessab Armenians are currently sheltered in Latakia city. On Sunday, Turkey provided direct assistance to the terrorists by downing a Syrian military plane. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad promised Catholicos Aram I of the Great House of Cilicia of the Armenian Apostolic Church to do everything possible to protect the Armenians in Kessab.
