An Armenian killed
Out of the 7 people who died yesterday in Iraq, two were Christians of which one was Armenian.
The assault against Christians took place in the Iraqi city of Mosul as armed individuals killed a believer of the Assyrian Catholic Church and his Armenian friend and left the scene.
According to Radio "Azatutyun", the Armenian was a carpenter and his friend worked at the anti-corruption office in Mosul.
Before the Iraq war in 2003, there were nearly 800,000 Christians living in Iraq. Currently, there are nearly 500,000 due to the frequent assaults against the Christian community and the church.
