YEREVAN. – Sending humanitarian aid to Aleppo is secondary, and bringing our compatriots out of there is a priority. 

Ruben Safrastyan, Director of the Institute of Orientology of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, stated the abovementioned at a press conference on Tuesday.

“It’s possible that large-scale attacks will take place in the future in the sector of Aleppo which is in the hands of the rebels, and this will pose a threat to the lives of our compatriots,” noted Safrastyan. “This is the priority matter; we need to ensure their being taken out. The most important is the lives of our compatriots.”

He added that, according to the UN, the situation in Aleppo will be much worse within approximately the next two months.
