As the year-long conflict polarises
Syrian society, Omar Abdel-Razek from BBC Arabic finds an Orthodox Christian
community worried it could face trouble from both the government and
opposition.
"The university has become a battlefield between the supporters and the
opposition of the regime."
That was what Lena (not her real name), a medical student at the University
of Aleppo, had said in her email informing me that she will not be able to meet
me at campus as agreed.
She continued: "As a Christian, both sides are suspicious of me. In fact I'm
not with or against the regime."
Lena said she never cared about politics until she and her family found
themselves talking about it everyday when the crisis in Syria began over a year
ago...
