+18. VIDEO: Massacre Takes Place Overnight in Armenian Established Settlement

Turkish-Kurdish conflict expert Karen Hovhannisyan regularly publishes updates on his Facebook page regarding events in Syria.

"I regret to inform that in Qamishli, where Armenians have been established since 1915, a massacre was carried out overnight by jihadists who have the support of Erdogan. The main mission of the Jaysh al-Muhammad or Muhammad's Army group, backed by Erdogan, is to invade bombed areas and carry out ethnic cleansing, destroying the places of worship of religious minorities as well. There are scenes from the brutality of the night.

I just established contact with our compatriots in Qamishli: it is impossible to leave Qamishli. The city is under bombardment, and I witnessed the explosions via video call. There is still mobile and internet connection. God protect us... What can I say?"
