Fides News Agency (Fides) wrote an article about kidnapped Syrian-Armenians:
“Sam Ghannoum is a young 28-year-old Christian Armenian songwriter. He comes from an Armenian family who live in a suburb of Aleppo. He is known in the community for his compositions made of eastern classical, soft and captivating melodies, and for songs that present the Christian message of love and peace.
About twenty days ago, on October 15, Sam was taken by the Syrian secret services and since then there has been no news of him. His family, as reported in a message sent to Fides, is in pain, in fear for his life, and reaffirms “the good faith and the purity of Sam’s ideals” and ask for his immediate release.
According to local sources, Sam seems to be held by the “Air Force Intelligence” in Aleppo.
Among the latest poetic words he left, Sam said: “I have been denied freedom, I am not allowed to think, but ideas and words have no fear of death. Now I am left with tears of sadness, my heart has been killed.”
As reported, the Armenian community of Aleppo asks hopes and prays for Sam’s release, so he can go back to writing songs and spreading the message of Christ’s love through music.
Note, seven other Armenian Christians were kidnapped a few days ago while they were on a bus traveling from Aleppo to Beirut. According to local sources of Fides, the kidnapping is the work carried out by unidentified armed gangs operating in the galaxy of forces opposed to the regime
