Hagop “Jack” Abolakian, an Armenian from Australia who owns the Nayri Hotel in Stepanakert, Artsakh, told reporters today that he was willing to house ten Armenians from Syria for free at his establishment.

They would only have to pay for their utilities; gas, water and electric.

Abolakian is originally from Aleppo. He left for France at the age of thirty five and then made his way to Australia.
