STEPANAKERT. – Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Prime Minister Ara Harutyunyan donated his one-month salary to the bank account that is opened to help the Armenians of Syria’s predominantly Armenian-populated town of Kessab. 

Harutyunyan’s spokesperson Artak Beglaryan wrote about the aforesaid in his Facebook account.

“The Prime Minister has transferred his salary for the month of March to the Kessab-Armenian relief account, and he calls upon everyone to help them as much as possible,” Beglaryan wrote.

In the early morning on March 21, armed militants from the Jabhat al-Nusra Islamic terrorist group infiltrated into northern Syria’s Latakia Governorate, which is predominantly inhabited by Armenians and Alawites, from four directions.

Two large groups of terrorists had launched the attack from Turkey. About 600 Kessab-Armenian families were initially sheltered in Latakia city.
