Statement of U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern (MA-02) on the situation in Kessab

f t # e
Washington, DC, March 28, 2014 | comments

“I strongly condemn the brutal attacks on the Armenian-populated town of Kessab by al-Qaeda affiliated armed bands. I am deeply saddened by the news of 80 lost lives and remain concerned for the fate of those who were forced to flee the area. This massacre underscores the particular vulnerability of Christian and other minorities in Syria and is another example of the atrociousness and endless cruelty of the Syrian conflict. Further, I am deeply concerned by the reports that these attacks allegedly originated in Turkey and demand that the United States and international community conduct a thorough and critical investigation of these claims.”
