Arab citizen of Aleppo Husam Uattar has left the following comment about the local Armenians on his Facebook page:

“The Armenians of Aleppo are citizens of Aleppo. Those who don’t know the Armenians of Aleppo don’t know Aleppo…

You can’t be in Aleppo and not taste Vazgen’s sujukh and basturma. You can’t be in Aleppo and not taste the best and tastiest meals at Uanes Diner. It’s impossible not to miss dining next to Serobian’s basin…It’s impossible to pass by the turtles and not have a shaurma…

If you car has broken down, your mechanic will definitely be an Armenian by the names of Movses, Hagop or Sarkis. If you have to buy a diamond, you’ll definitely go to an Armenian because he won’t trick you…If you want a good photo, you’ll only go to an Armenian by the names of Dikran, Jimmy and Harout…

If you live in Aleppo, you definitely have Armenian friends. If you’re mad, you’ll definitely talk to your Armenian friend who will listen to you without interrupting and won’t say you’re the one to blame…Instead, he’ll tell you to ��?calm down’, ��?it’s not a big deal’ or ��?don’t worry, my friend’…

If your close one dies, you’ll see that the first to share your pain and stand by you will be an Armenian.

When you get sick, an Armenian will call you and ask how you’re doing. An Armenian will also visit you and bring you flowers…

We have been and still are one nation, in spite of what everyone says. May God be with Minas and his father, and may He punish those who killed them.”
