Gabrielian stated that the clashes began at noon and continued late into the night.
"However, after midnight, the situation was completely calm. Things are now peaceful. Shops are open, and life has resumed its usual course," she said.
In light of the tensions, the governor of Aleppo declared December 23 a public holiday, closing schools and government offices.
