Maria Gabrielyan elected Syrian Parliament member

After the parliamentary elections held in Syria, Maria Gabrielyan, the candidate represented by the Armenian community, was elected a member of the Syrian Parliament.

Before the parliamentary elections, the Syrian Parliament had two Armenian deputies, namely Zhirayr Reisyan and Lucy Balyan. They were not even nominated for this election. The spiritual leaders of the Armenian Apostolic, Catholic and Evangelical Churches of Aleppo issued a call to support Gabrielyan’s candidacy.
