The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia is closely following the developments of events in Syria. This is what Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Zohrab Mnatsakanyan declared during a parliamentary session today, responding to deputy of the Prosperous Armenia faction Arman Abovyan’s question related to the murder of an Armenian priest and his father in Qamishli.

According to the minister, what happened in Syria is a great sorrow.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia is particularly focused on the policy targeted at the defense of ethnic and religious minorities in Qamishli and in Syria, for that matter. We are closely working with our various partners and countries and, of course, the Syrian government. We continue our humanitarian mission in Syria and are preparing to take new actions to provide further humanitarian aid to particular regions in Syria,” the minister declared.
