🚨 Colonial Arrogance in Jerusalem’s Armenian Quarter On June 8, 2025, a group of religious Israelis attempted to force their way into Saints James Monastery, a sacred and private Armenian Christian compound in Jerusalem’s Old City. When a community member informed them it was private church property, one of Israelis reportedly replied: “This is our country, we can go wherever we want.” Let that sink in. This was not an innocent visit. It was a colonial assertion of domination — the belief that any space, even sacred ground belonging to others for centuries, is theirs to seize at will. Here’s what they need to be reminded of: •Armenians have maintained continuous residence in Jerusalem since the 4th century CE — over 1,700 years without interruption. •The Armenian Quarter has the longest unbroken record of land ownership in the Old City. •By comparison, Jewish presence — while historically deep — was interrupted multiple times (70–638 CE, 1099–1187 CE, 1948–1967 CE). •Greeks, Copts, and Muslims also experienced disruptions, particularly during the Crusades. Only the Armenians maintained an unbroken custodianship. The Armenian Patriarchate legally owns this land, recognized both under Ottoman-era waqf law and under international legal protections following the British Mandate. Entry without permission is not only a violation of private property, but a breach of international law and religious protections guaranteed under the: 🔹 UNESCO Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage 🔹 Status Quo Agreement of 1852, safeguarding religious sites 🔹 1949 Geneva Conventions (IV) protecting cultural and religious institutions during occupation 🔹 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 18 (freedom of religion and protection of places of worship) And yet, a settler mindset now emboldens people to declare: “We can go wherever we want.” This is the language of erasure, of conquest, of spiritual vandalism. This is not the behavior of pilgrims — this is the behavior of colonizers. If this had happened at a synagogue, mosque, or Catholic shrine, international outrage would follow. But the Armenian community is expected to stay silent — invisible, expendable. Not this time. We will not be erased. We will not be intimidated. We were here before Zionism, before Crusaders, before nation-states — and we will still be here when this era’s arrogance collapses into the dust of history. Hands off the Armenian Quarter. This land is not yours. Never was. #HandsOffArmenianQuarter #ArmenianResilience #StopSettlerColonialism #JerusalemIsNotYours #UNESCOProtection #ReligiousFreedom #SacredNotYours #ArmeniansInJerusalem

✝️🇦🇲 The #Armenian Quarter of #Jerusalem is the living, beating heart of one of the world's oldest continuous #Christian communities - a presence in the Holy Land that spans over 1,700 years. This sacred sanctuary breathes history, where the faith and culture of millennia are woven into daily life. While Armenia made history in 301 AD as the first country to adopt Christianity, Armenians had been in Jerusalem for centuries. The first recorded visit dates to 96 BCE, and in 70 CE, Romans brought Armenian merchants and administrators to the city. A large number of Armenian monks are recorded to have settled in Jerusalem as early as the 4th century, following the uncovering of Christian holy places in the city. The first written records confirming this community are from the 5th century. A major strengthening occurred in the 12th century, when approximately one thousand Armenians-presumably from the allied Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia-moved to Jerusalem. In Crusader-era Jerusalem, Armenian women were pivotal pillars who shaped the kingdom's history through strategic marriages and political leadership. Notably, Queen Melisende, daughter of the Armenian Princess Morphia, ruled in her own right for over two decades. A major patron of the arts and the Armenian Church, she directly fortified the Armenian Quarter, ensuring its enduring presence. The heart of this self-contained enclave is the St. James Cathedral and Monastery, a 12th-century complex that serves as its spiritual center. Nearby, the Gulbenkian Library safeguards one of the world’s most extensive collections of Armenian manuscripts. The Armenian Quarter is also the birthplace of the world-famous Armenian ceramics of Jerusalem, a vibrant art form that flourished in the 19th century. Beyond its walls lies a silent testament to ancient roots: the Armenian Bird Mosaic (5th-6th century), just outside Damascus Gate, bearing the inscription: “For the memory and redemption of all the Armenians whose names God knows.” At the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Armenian Apostolic Church is one of the three primary custodians under the "Status Quo." They hold exclusive control over the Chapel of St. Helena and the "Chapel of the Division of the Raiment," maintain the second-most prominent altar in the Rotunda, and hold the right to perform the annual ceremonial washing of the Edicule on Holy Saturday. The Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem holds one of the world's largest and most significant collections of Armenian manuscripts-a treasury of over 4,000 volumes. These treasures, spanning from the 9th to the 19th centuries, include illuminated Gospels, biblical, and historical texts. The English writer Philip Marsden wrote that the survival of the Armenians in Jerusalem-"most intense of all cities"-demonstrates a profound cultural and spiritual fortitude.

On Jerusalem Day, Israeli activist and interfaith scholar Yisca Harani always stands in front of the Saint James Monastery in the Armenian Quarter, educating Jewish passerby on Armenians. A young group of Jews stopped by, and as always, she started explaining to them about Armenians, specifically, about how they saved Sha'ar Yishuv HaCohen in 1948, who later became the Chief Rabbi of Haifa. "I thought I had reached them. I thought I was making progress, until one of them asked, ‘But what is an Armenian?’” said Yisca. She said Armenians are Christians. "They turned into animals upon hearing that, you could see the hate in their eyes," continued Yisca. Four of the young boys then spat on an Armenian sign, and left.

BREAKING: Israeli News Channel Kan 11 Insults the 1,700-Year-Old Armenian Presence in Jerusalem. [Video with subtitles⬇️] On Thursday, May 15, 2025, following Armenia’s Eurovision performance of “Survivor” by Armenian artist PARG, a commentator on Israel’s Kan 11 News mockingly stated: “I can’t believe we gave ‘these’ guys an entire quarter in Jerusalem. Survivor — that’s how we feel after watching this song.” This was not only insulting, but egregiously inaccurate. Though Kan 11 brands itself as a news channel, its grasp of historical fact appears to be tenuous at best — and nonexistent at worst. So allow me to provide a brief historical input: Breaking News for Kan 11: •The Armenian presence in Jerusalem dates back to 301 AD — the year Armenia became the first nation in the world to officially adopt Christianity as its state religion. This milestone led to a wave of Armenian pilgrimage to the Holy Land and, over centuries, the stone-by-stone establishment of what is now known as the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem. •No one "gave us" a quarter in Jerusalem. We fought for it, built it, over centuries, preserved it and continue to defend it to this day. In the face of such ignorant and racially-laced commentary, we assert — and will always assert — the truth: The Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem has always been Armenian, and it will always remain Armenian. We are a people who have endured genocide, dispossession, cultural erasure, and generational trauma — and yet we remain, we are still, against all odds, still here. We remain more united than ever, and we remain resolute in defending our rightful and ancestral presence in the Holy City that is Jerusalem. Kan 11 crossed a red line. An immediate public apology is required to the Armenian people — for the insult, for the distortion, and for the disgrace.

This image is from 2009. It is not Hamas, but Zionist Israel that is doing this to the Jews. After the anti-Zionist Orthodox Jewish community in Jerusalem held a rally against the State of Israel, a group of Israeli police attacked this Anti-Zionist synagogue in Jerusalem during religious services. The only crime of these Jews was that they held rallies against Israel and Zionism. Mea Shearim is the anti-Zionist Jewish neighborhood in Jerusalem, and the synagogue where this incident took place is an anti-Zionist synagogue.

Today is Sukkot, which commemorates the 40 years the Israelites spent in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt. This street, known as Armenian Patriarchate Road, is located in the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem. As one of the few roads leading directly to the Kotel (Western Wall), hundreds of thousands of Jews walk through it during various religious holidays without facing a single incident of harassment from the local Armenian community. This is not an exaggeration. Not a single case of harassment has ever been recorded. We have always respected the faith of others, whether Jewish or Muslim. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said when it comes to my people and our faith. We are harassed daily and with impunity. Our priests are spat on, our walls are urinated upon, and vile insults are hurled at us: “You are goyim, you don’t belong in Jerusalem.”

BREAKING: Israelis Spit on the Armenian Convent During Jewish Holiday. At midnight on June 2, 2025, during the final hours of Shavuot—a holiday commemorating the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, specifically the Ten Commandments—a young Israeli was seen spitting at the entrance of the Armenian Convent in Jerusalem’s Old City. When confronted by our local correspondent Kegham Balian (Kegham Balian), a group of bystanders gathered and tensions quickly escalated. The situation intensified when a driver arriving at the scene also spat toward the Convent in an act of provocation. The Armenian civils responsible for protecting the Armenian Quarter were immediately called and arrived at the location without delay. The police, whose station is less than a minute away from the Convent, were also contacted promptly. However, they arrived 25 minutes later, after the perpetrators had already left the scene. Yiscra Harani, Israeli activist, scholar, and Director of The Hotline for the Documentation of Assaults Against Christians, was outraged by this unprovoked aggression: "At the conclusion of the Jewish festival of Shavuot, a shameful display of ‘Jewish supremacy’ took place: not only the degrading act of spitting at a church and at a person, but also a haughty crowd surrounding an Armenian man who simply asked, “Why are you doing this?” The hotline for documenting assaults against Christians will close the first half of 2025 with over 90 reported incidents. This must come to a clear and forceful end." This hateful incident underscores the well-established pattern of disrespect and hostility toward Jerusalem’s Christian communities. It also highlights the urgent need for the Israeli authorities to take stronger action to prevent such acts and to ensure swift, appropriate responses, followed by proper accountability.

A group of ultra-Orthodox Israelis were captured on camera spitting at the entrance of the Saint James Monastery in occupied East Jerusalem, a historic Christian site located in the Old City. The incident is the latest in a series of documented acts of harassment targeting Christian clergy, churches and pilgrims in Jerusalem. Such attacks are rooted in extremist religious beliefs held by some ultra-Orthodox and nationalist Jewish groups, who view Christianity as idolatrous and consider spitting a symbolic act of rejection. The practice has been openly defended by some extremists as a religious expression. Christian leaders and human rights groups have repeatedly warned that Israeli authorities fail to act against perpetrators, allowing harassment of Christians, vandalism of churches and verbal abuse of tourists to continue unchecked.

BREAKING: Tzvika Fogel, Chairman of the Knesset’s National Security Committee and a member of the far-right Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party, is blatantly lying about his encounter with Armenians in Jerusalem’s Armenian Quarter. “I was surrounded by 15 Armenians. They threatened my life and my health, and within two minutes ten Border Police officers arrived,” said MK Tzvika Fogel. You can watch the footage in its entirety where you can clearly see the arrival of MK Fogel, with the Police already present, and not a single Armenian surrounding him nor threatening his life. Furthermore, he mentions that the parking lot in question is public. This is also wrong: there is a sign at the entrance which very clearly states, in 3 languages, that the parking lot is private property. Mr. Fogel owes the Armenian community of Jerusalem an apology.

A serious incident occurred at Saint Anna Church in Yerevan during Palm Sunday celebrations, when Nikol Pashinyan and his security personnel entered the church, caused disturbances to the gathered worshippers, and attempted to carry out election campaigning. According to eyewitnesses, security personnel accompanying Pashinyan restricted the movement of civilians inside the church and disrupted the religious service, immediately creating tension among those present. The situation escalated when one of the bodyguards struck a civilian inside the church, provoking outrage among the worshippers and rapidly intensifying the confrontation. One of the citizens even attempted to strike Pashinyan. As tensions reached their peak, worshippers forced Pashinyan to leave the church, effectively pushing him out of the premises. The incident took place against the backdrop of ongoing state attacks against the Armenian Apostolic Church.

✝️🇦🇲 May the Lord bless the Christian heritage of #Armenia, the first #Christian country in the world, which safeguards the ancient Akhtala Monastery, over a millennium old. Founded in the 10th century, this fortress-monastery was transformed two centuries later into a living Bible through its unique and breathtaking 13th-century Byzantine frescoes. Every surface bursts with frescoes depicting Old and New Testament miracles: the trial of Jesus before Pontius Pilate and Caiaphas, the sacred Communion, and saints in glory. So vivid they feel alive, they breathe faith into stone. Its main Church, St. Astvatsatsin, is a unique sanctuary and a masterpiece of synthesis, featuring a harmonious blend of Armenian, Georgian, and Byzantine elements. Scholarly analysis reveals the frescoes were likely the joint creation of eight master artists. The 13th-century frescoes of Akhtala Monastery are considered one of the finest examples of Byzantine art outside the empire, with inscriptions primarily in Greek. They represent a profound synthesis: while the coloring and technique are quintessentially Byzantine, the thematic narratives are distinctly Armenian, drawing parallels to earlier Armenian masterpieces like the 11th-century Mugni Gospels. The Akhtala Monastery was also a major center of manuscript writing, particularly from the 13th to the 14th centuries. In the 13th century, Simeon Pghndzahantsi worked here, and both Armenian and Georgian literature was studied.

✝️ May the Lord protect all sacred heritage in #Iran 🇮🇷. There's a #Christian monastery in #Iran. Most people don't know it exists. 🇦🇲 The #Armenian Monastery of Saint Stepanos has stood for over 1,000 years. Tradition says Saint Bartholomew founded a Church here in 62 AD. A sanctuary that has witnessed millennia-still standing, still sacred. Armenian prayers have never stopped. St. Stepanos Monastery is widely regarded as the second most important Armenian monastery in Iran. The site was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2008. The real magic of this place is its layered history. Armenian tradition holds that Saint Bartholomew the Apostle founded a church at the site around AD 62, during the Parthian era. Some accounts suggest early Christian activity in the broader region as early as the 1st century. Armenian hands built these walls. The first monastery structure dates to the 7th century (with the earliest documented reference around 649 AD), and it was expanded in the 10th century. The current main buildings were largely rebuilt in the Safavid era after damage from wars and earthquakes. The site suffered damage during the wars between the Seljuks and Byzantines in the 11th and 12th centuries. In the 14th century, after destruction from wars and earthquakes (notably around 1319), it was restored in the 1320s under Bishop Zachariah. By the 14th and 15th centuries, the monastery reached the height of its cultural and intellectual influence, serving as a center for producing illuminated manuscripts, paintings, and works in religion, history, and philosophy, many of which survive in collections like the Matenadaran in Yerevan, Armenia. The early Safavid dynasty (16th century) initially protected Armenian communities, but the region became a battleground in Ottoman-Safavid conflicts. The monastery gradually declined. In 1604–1605, Shah Abbas the Great forcibly relocated many Armenians (including from nearby areas), leading to periods of abandonment. The Safavids later reoccupied the region, and the monastery was restored in the latter part of the 17th century. Further restorations occurred in the Qajar era, with Crown Prince Abbas Mirza personally supporting repairs and maintenance in the early 19th century (around 1819–1825). The monastery complex includes the main Church, as well as the Darreh Sham and Chupan chapels. It is known for its intricate carvings, reddish stone, and impressive dome. UNESCO recognizes the Armenian Monastic Ensembles (including St. Stepanos Monastery) for bearing "continuous testimony, since the origins of Christianity and certainly since the 7th century, to Armenian culture in its relations and contact with the Persian and later the Iranian civilisations." The monastery is considered a masterpiece of Armenian architecture, featuring a unique combination of Byzantine, Armenian, and Persian elements. Its ancient stones still echo centuries of prayers.

BREAKING: Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation broadcaster Kan 11 insults the 1,700-year-old Armenian presence in Jerusalem. After Armenia’s Eurovision performance on May 15, a Kan 11 commentator said: “I can’t believe we gave ‘these’ guys an entire quarter in Jerusalem.” Then added: “Survivor — that’s how we feel after watching this song.” For the purpose of historical clarity and accuracy: • The Armenian presence in Jerusalem dates back to 301 AD, when Armenia became the first Christian nation. • The Armenian Quarter was not “given.” It was built, stone by stone, by Armenians over centuries and under empires and dynasties that have long since vanished. • It is not a gift — it is a legacy. One that is preserved, nurtured, and defended to this very day. Such remarks are not just ignorant — they are offensive to the collective memory of Armenians and their millenial-old contributions to the culturual, social, and economical fabric of Jerusalem. The Armenian community in Jerusalem has survived genocide, exile, and erasure — and yet is still, against all odds, here. Still building. Still protecting. Still Armenian. Kan 11 owes the Armenian people an immediate public apology. 301 correspondent: Kegham Balian
