US Embassy in Armenia condemns destruction of the Armenian Church in Deir Ez-zor
The U.S. Embassy Yerevan has joined the government and people of Armenia in strongly condemning the destruction of the Armenian Church in Deir Ez-zor, Syria. “This senseless act of destruction demonstrates yet again the utter disregard the terrorist organization ISIL has for the rich religious and cultural heritage of the Middle East. As Secretary Kerry has stated, ISIL has systematically committed abuses of human rights and international law and presents a global terrorist threat. Faced with this threat, the United States urges the international community to strengthen our united effort to degrade and destroy ISIL,” the Embassy said in a statement.
