Opposition Turkish media actively cover the events in the Armenian-populated town of Kessab in Syria neighboring with the Turkish province of Hatay and in nearby districts.

Citing information received from Syrian Armenians, Demokrat Haber reports that looters of Armenian houses in Kessab speak Turkish.

When Kessab resident Ani Boymushakyan called the office of the Armenian Evangelical Church in Kessab, jihadists fighting against Assad answered in Turkish. According to another Armenian, when he called his apartment after moving to Latakia, rebels answered, who he said also spoke Turkish.

On March 21, the Armenian-populated town of Kessab in Syria was attacked by armed bands from three points in Turkey. The Armenian residents were forced to abandon the town and were evacuated to neighboring Latakia.
