Aleppo and the Impact of the Syrian War on Armenian Communities
The experience of Armenian communities in Syria is intricately and inseparably tied to the experience of all Syrians. In this video, Dr. Khatchig Mouradian considers how the war has irreversibly altered the fabric of society in Aleppo and cities all around Syria and why this destruction of community life has had a profound impact not only on the Armenian communities immediately effected by the war but diaspora communities all around the world that have looked to it for intellectual and cultural nourishment.
