Communique
Today, on April 3rd, 2024 around 11 o’clock, an unlawful eviction was initiated by Israeli Police on the grounds of the Cow’s Garden located within the premises of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem. The eviction began with the destruction of Armenian Patriarchate property, and assaults on clergy and indigenous Armenians.
The officer leading the eviction was Assaf Harel.
The group of officers were asked to present permits for the eviction, the destruction of property, and physical removal of priests and indigenous Armenians from the premises.
Permits or court orders were NOT presented and they continued to protect and assist the representatives of Xana Gardens in their destruction of property.
During attempts to stop the unlawful activity, several members of the police continued to state that they have come with permits without ever presenting them.
We were met with a continued response “We are here to defend the rights of the workers of Xana Gardens.”
The Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem is one of the Custodians of the Holy Land and overseers of one of the four Quarters of Jerusalem. We fully expect the due process that is purportedly granted to all within Jerusalem and demand answers from the Israeli Police and the Israeli Government for their participation in today’s events.
It is clear that today’s provocations are an attempt to set a precedent against the Armenian Quarter and its lawful lands. We will continue to stand our ground and ask for Christians worldwide to spotlight these never-ending encroachments on the peaceful Armenian Christian community.

DIVAN OF THE ARMENIAN PATRIARCHATE”
This is ongoing. Israel is cleansing all Christians from areas under their control. It’s despicable.
Says who? You?
LOL!
They’ll be imprisoning about 5% of their population who are Ethnic Jews as well.
Nobody said it was easy to follow Christ.
Go elsewhere to show off your Jew-Hatred.
This is fake news. The Patriarchate leased the land to an Australian real estate developer who wants to build housing.
Maybe it was a bad deal, maybe the Patriarchate is corrupt, but it was a business deal that Armenians who didnt get a cut feel left out of.

You are full of crap again.
Thank you for posting. That enrages me.
One would think that Israel would possess empathy for the persecuted and beleaguered Armenians, but Israel is in bed with the Genocidal Azeris, who are only a client state of Turkey. Israel’s denial of the Armenian Genocide and the selling of weapons to Azerbaijan is damnable.
I wonder how long it will be before we are labeled as Nazis for daring to criticize “perfect” Israel on any issue.
For the record: I support Israel’s fight against Hamas. But, Israel isn’t above reproach.
