Syrian civil war threatens Christian presence, prelate warns
CWN - February 23, 2012

Archbishop Antoine Audo observed that “Christians are the minority most threatened by Syria’s civil war.” For a growing number of them, he said, “fleeing is our only salvation.” The archbishop voiced fears that the civil war could endanger the Christian presence in Syria.
