ALEPPO, Syria (A.W.)—A bomb exploded in front of the Armenian Prelacy building in Aleppo on Nov.8, killing an employee.
The bomb was thrown by terrorist groups, reported the Syrian-Armenian Kantsasar news site. Two other local individuals who happened to be in the vicinity of the explosion were also injured.
The employee has been identified as 65-year-old Nazaret Maljian, originally from Beirut, Lebanon. His funeral took place on Nov. 9 at the Holy Mother of God Armenian Apostolic Church of Aleppo. Maljian leaves behind his wife, family and friends.
Archbishop Shahan Sarkisian, Prelate of Aleppo, in a recent interview with the Armenian Weekly described the situation in Syria, especially as it affected the Armenian community. “Unfortunately, Syria is presently facing uncertainty. There is no sign of peace on the horizon. The war continues and, like everyone else, we too must suffer the fire, the casualties, the kidnappings, the destruction, and the various other types of harm,” said the Archbishop.
