World famous musician Serj Tankian called to ask members of U.S. Congress to investigate Turkey's role in attacks on Armenian-populated Kessab.

"Please join me in asking our members of congress to demand that the Senate and House intelligence committees investigate Turkey's role in the Al Qaeda linked attacks on the city of #Kessab in Syria, where more than 2000 Armenians were driven from their homes. These people were all survivors of the #ArmenianGenocide who had settled there after the First World War," he wrote on Facebook.

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 are currently sheltered in Latakia city.
