“In 20 years, you may not find Armenians, Catholics or Greeks in Jerusalem”

Jerusalem’s Armenian Patriarch appears to have approved a 99-year lease off of 25% of the Armenian Quarter. This has raised red flags for Armenians, but also for all those concerned about Jerusalem’s international future. As a result of the deal, Palestinian and Jordanian authorities have frozen their recognition of the Armenian Patriarch. They say that land, internationally recognized as part of Palestine, is effectively being handed over to Israeli settlers. In this second report, CivilNet speaks with representatives of the Latin Patriarchate and the Muslim and Greek Orthodox communities, and explains why the Armenian Quarter and its future is so important to Israelis, Palestinians, Christians and the whole region, and why Armenian and world cultural heritage is at stake.

All communities must unite and fight this policies! This is unconscionable!

I understand Israel's desire to assert its claim over Jerusalem as a city, and while I understand the reasoning behind it, I believe it is crucial to acknowledge the significance of the quarter as a culturally and historically important place for all groups. Transforming the entire quarter into an exclusively Israeli Jewish territory could be seen as an act of cultural cleansing, which is utterly unacceptable.

10:59 Emile, who is taking him into the car? Are they Israeli policeman? I don’t get it. Why would the Israelis be taking him anywhere? It’s the Armenian who are upset with him. Or is the act in illegal act according to Israeli law? It’s so sad or shocking to see a clergyman, defrocked like that and taken away. This whole story is so sad.

What the acts of 2 greedy man can do to the communities that stood there for centuries, that went through invasions and wars, for those two with the swipe of a pen to undone it all. May their names live in infamy for generations.
