The struggle in Damascus is in its final stage

YEREVAN, JULY 19, ARMENPRESS: After the terrorist attack near Syrian National Security building on July 18 the situation in Damascus continues to stay tense. Armenpress was informed from representative of Armenian community in Syria Nazareth Elmajyan that the control in Damascus has more strengthened but during the whole day voices of continuing clashes, explosions are heard from the suburbs of the city.

In Elmajyan’s words the current struggle is in its definitive and final stage and during a day or two the situation will be clearer. What refers to the information spread by various Medias that the presidential residence is in siege does not correspond to reality.

In result of clashes the terrorists had significant losses; there are many arrested people who are not Syrians.

The situation became tenser after the strong explosion on July 18 because of which Defense Minister of Syria and other high-rank officials died.
