SYRIA: UN CULTURAL CHIEF DEPLORES RUINATION OF ALEPPO AS ANCIENT
MINARET IS DESTROYEDNew York, Apr 25 2013 2:00PMWith reports that the
minaret of one of Syria's most famous mosques was reduced to rubble in
Aleppo today, the head of the United Nations cultural organization
expressed her deep distress over continuing destruction of the ancient
city of Aleppo, designated a World Heritage site.

The Great Mosque, at the heart of the ancient city of Aleppo, had
already been badly damaged by fire during heavy fighting in the
ancient city in October 2012," according to a
<"http://whc.unesco.org/en/news/1002">news release from the of the UN
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) that
contained the reaction of Director-General Irina Bokova to the
destruction.

"On that occasion, the Director-General reminded all parties of the
country's obligations under the 1954 Hague Convention for the
Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, to
which Syria is a signatory," the release continued.

The Ancient City of Aleppo was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage
List in 1986, in recognition of its "rare and authentic Arab
architectural styles" and its testimony to the city's cultural,
social, and technological development from the Mameluke period. It is
one of six Syrian World Heritage sites.

The conflict in Syria has killed over 70,000 people and wreaked
widespread destruction since opposition forces sought to oust
President Bashar Al-Assad in 2011. Latest figures show 6.8 million
people in need, 4.25 million people internally displaced and an
additional 1.3 million seeking refuge in neighbouring countries.Apr 25
