A Syrian Armenian named Minas is among those kidnapped in Syria, but the photo of the killed man posted online is not that of Minas, spokesman of the Syrian Prelacy Jirair Reyisian told Horizon Weekly. 

Rev. Haroutyun Selimyan, the head of the Armenian Evangelical community in Aleppo, told the newspaper that checks confirmed that the killed man is not Armenian, but a Syrian rebel who was killed in clashes between different rebel groups.

Rev. Haroutyun Selimyan also commented on the fact that the killed man was wearing a coat with the badge of the Armenian Evangelical Bethel Church. He said that prior to the war, he ordered coats with the badge of the church for the students of the Armenian Evangelical Bethel College. As clashes erupted in Aleppo, the coats, 1,000 in number, were stolen by the rebels from a storage building, and in all probability the rebels wear them on cold days.
