YEREVAN, DECEMBER 25, ARMENPRESS. Shahe Chaghlasyan, who was kidnapped in Aleppo few days ago, has been released. Press Secretary of the Armenian National Prelacy in Aleppo Jirair Reisian informed "Armenpress" about this. In addition he stated that he has been released after the payment of ransom. Chaghlasyan has been kidnapped in Shkeyf district of Aleppo in his own car.

Among other things Reisian stated that an Armenian doctor, who also was kidnapped in Aleppo, has already been released after paying ransom to the kidnappers. The two Armenians have already returned back to home.

According to the Press Secretary the death of Hovak Kortmosyan has been finally approved. He was among the servicemen, who were assassinated in Aleppo in summer, 2012. Kortmosyan was deadly wounded during the attack of the Hananu armory. His friends told that they had seen him fallen, although his parents cherished a hope to see their son alive, as they had not found his corpse. Lately it turned out that the corpse of the Armenian youth became unrecognizable after leaving in the sun for a long time.

As to the current situation in Aleppo Reisian stated that nothing essential changed in the city. The electricity is being interrupted from time to time. Notwithstanding the Government spares no effort to restore it, the rebels keep disturbing the natural course of restoration. The situation in the central districts is calm, but one can still hear shooting from distant regions.
