With the efforts of the Armenian Gregorian, Catholic and Protestant communities today, on April 21, at 5 p.m. Syrian time, funeral service will be held at St. Mary's Armenian Apostolic Church of Latakia for the murdered 24-year-old Gevorg Juryan and all the deceased Kessab-Armenians. “Armenpress” was informed about this from Karo Manchikyan, who is now in Latakia. As to Gevorg Juryan’s assassination, he noted, that on March 22 the militants took him out of home and led to an unknown destination. A few days ago information on his murder was received.

According to Karo Manchikyan in the result of negotiations with the militants, the boy's uncles received the dead body. There is no information about the details of the murder. The news of Juryan’s murder had given rise to various interpretations. The problem was that the family did not believe the news of his death. Gevorg's parents are in Latakia.
