Syria Conflict: Christians 'Fleeing Homes' -- BBC
A senior Church leader in Syria has said almost a third of the country's Christians have fled their homes.
Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregorios III Laham told the BBC that more than 450,000 Christians out of a total population of 1.75 million had been displaced or left the country.
However, he was adamant that the Christian community would survive.
Patriarch Gregorios also expressed hope that the initiative to destroy Syria's chemical weapons might lead to peace.
Last month, the UN Security Council ended two-and-a-half years of deadlock over Syria by adopting a resolution that demanded the elimination of the country's arsenal by mid-2014.
The resolution also backed US and Russian efforts to convene an international meeting in Geneva to find a political solution to the conflict, which has left more than 100,000 people dead.
