Armenian monks in Jerusalem

Armenian Christians in Jerusalem have been violently attacked by greater than 30 masked Arab Muslims in Jerusalem on Thursday.

“Armenian clerics in Jerusalem are fighting for their lives,” the Armenian Patriarchate advised the Jerusalem Put up.

A number of of the Armenian monks have been “seriously injured.”

In response to the Jerusalem Put up, the ambush assault was in response to a lawsuit to cancel an settlement associated to a land lease of the Armenian Quarter.

“The Armenian Patriarchate filed a lawsuit to cancel an agreement it made over two years ago to lease a fourth of the Armenian Quarter to Australian Jewish developer Danny Rothman (Rubinstein) and his Christian Arab partner George Warwar (Hadad) for 98 years. Once local and international Armenians understood what had happened, they began protesting, including holding a weekly vigil, to pressure the Patriarchate to cancel the deal.” the Jerusalem Put up reported.

The Armenian Patriarchate advised The Put up that the builders used violence to intimidate the clerics.

“Instead of going through a legal process, they brought criminals and attacked our community,” Bishop Koryoun Baghdasaryan advised the Jerusalem Put up.

The Jerusalem Put up reported:

Over 30 armed provocateurs carrying ski masks and a few carrying deadly weapons attacked a bunch of Armenian bishops, monks, deacons, and different residents on Thursday within the Outdated Metropolis of Jerusalem, in line with the Armenian Patriarchate.

“A mass and coordinated physical attack was launched,” the Patriarchate wrote in an official letter to the Police and Israeli authorities, which The Jerusalem Put up reviewed. “Several priests, students, and indigenous Armenians are seriously injured.”

“They attacked us,” Bishop Koryoun Baghdasaryan, director of the Actual Property Division for the Patriarchate, advised the Put up.
Armenian Patriarchate Chancellor Aghan Gogchyan stated the attackers used pepper spray and different chemical compounds, which they focused at seminary college students, a number of of whom have been taken to the hospital.

The Police confirmed that it acquired the letter and stated that arrests have been made on either side – each Armenians and Muslims who allegedly carried out the assault. Nobody has been formally charged, the Police stated.
