Member of the Nagorno-Karabakh Parliament, veteran of the Nagorno- Karabakh war Vahan Badasyan has suggested forming armed groups for defending Armenians in the Syrian town of Kesab.
He said that he is ready to command such a group and urged all Armenians having military experience to join him.
The Al-Nusra and Islamic Front terrorist groups have attacked Kesab since Mar 21. Syrian government forces and Armenian self-defenders are rebuffing the attacks, while Turkey is supporting the attackers. On Sunday the Turkish air forces shot down a Syrian military jet that was pursuing a group of terrorists.
