 The riot resulted in numerous deaths, including that of the Syriac Catholic Patriarch Peter VII Jarweh.Generally, the riot is characterized as the culmination of tensions between the diverse groups that had historically populated Aleppo, including tensions between Muslims and Christians, and janissaries and the ashraf.Ethnic non-Aleppine groups, including Bedouins, Kurds and Türkmen have also been blamed for the riot, especially by local historians.
