Just when you think you have seen it all in Syrian such as an alliance of al-Qaeda and Syrian Nazis under the guise of Nusra, this video will really through you in a loop. Some websites were claiming these were Mexican gang-bangers fighting in Syria. After some quick research, it turns out the two clowns in the video are Armenian-Syrian gang-bangers who were deported an are now fighting for a Pro-Assad Armenian militia in the Aleppo region.

Here is the Facebook of one of the Armenian gang-bangers by the name of Wino Ayee Peeyakan who is a member of the Armenian Power gang. The other is an Armenian member of the the Surenos Gang from LA. In Hispanic gangs there are members who are Italian, Filipinos, French-Canadian, Greek, Serbian or Armenian due to cultural affinity. There are even Irish or Polish members of Hispanic gangs due to the shared Catholic religion.

Here is a read on the support Assad has from Armenians in Syria.

A quick search turned up that these two gang members were not Mexican. I don’t understand why right leaning websites do not do research on stories before they publish them. These inaccurate claims are damaging the credibility of rightwing sites and I advise people to take what you read now on conservative sites with a grain of salt.
