YEREVAN (Armenpress)—There are sprouts of hope in Aleppo: the threat of bombings has significantly decreased, improvements in everyday life are observed, solutions of water supply and electricity problems are expected, said Editor-in-Chief of Aleppo-based newspaper Kantsasar, Zarmig Boghigian.
The Syrian Army liberated the water supply company of Aleppo’s Sulaymanieh district and responsible agencies are currently undertaking reconstruction works. “Aleppo is deprived of electricity, however according to local administration agencies, the electricity station is also being renovated, and the electricity supply problem will probably be solved by New Year. The main problems are inflation and unemployment. All these problems will be solved, and the city will gradually recover only in case of establishing peace. The activities of Aleppo’s industrial districts – Sheikh Najjar and Leramun have also been restored. The workshops of the majority of Armenian craftsmen were located in the Bostan Pasha district, after terrorists captured and looted the district, the craftsmen suffered significant material damages in addition to becoming unemployed. The Armenian nursing home and the Arevik Children’s Medical Center of the district were also looted. Nevertheless, the Syrian Army will soon clear the district and Armenian craftsmen will be able to return to their workshops,â€
