A town called Gohar

I'm not sure what I make of this. Aleppo was the first place I went to an Armenian Church (and made a donation to hear the priest sing). Arka news agency reports on the development of a new village not far from Aleppo by the Kilikia community.

On October 23, the ceremony of putting the fundament [sic] of the village took place. The Minister of Urban Development of Syria Mohammad Nihad Mushantat, the Governor of Aleppo Usame HAmid Adi, Council General of Armenia to Aleppo Armen Melkonyan and other officials, representatives of clergy and the public were present at the ceremony.

I'd love to hear more about this...
