Georgian parliament's MPs of Armenian origin submitted a written address to the UN Secretary General in connection with the events in Kessab, a Syrian town on border with Turkey.

Tachat Vardapetyan, chairman of the “Unity of Armenians of Georgia” union, said the Armenians of Javakhk are following the developments related to Armenia and Armenians all over the globe.

“Samvel Petrosyan, Henzel Mkoyan and Ruslan Poghosyan – members of Georgian parliament – submitted a written address to the UN Secretary General with an aim to attract world's attention and condemn anti-Armenian policy of Turkey in Kessab, an Armenian-populated region of Syria,” he told reporters on Thursday.

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. A group of Armenia parliament members had visited Syria to assess the situation in the region.
