REFILE ADDING TRANSLATION A soldier loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad walks down flights of stairs in the Armenian Christian town of Kasab June 16, 2014. Residents of the Armenian Christian village of Kasab on Syria's border with Turkey began returning home on Monday, dancing, cheering and waving flags in the main square a day after the army retook the area from rebels. The fall of Kasab to President Bashar al-Assad's forces less than three months after insurgents captured it dealt another symbolic and strategic blow to an opposition undermined in recent months by infighting and government gains.
