November 19 Update from CMEP's ED Rev. Dr. Mae Elise Cannon
The Armenian Quarter is part of the Old City and is within Occupied East Jerusalem. This Quarter, home to around 2000 Armenians, has been under threat. In April of 2023, a deal was signed between the Armenian Patriarchate and an Israeli firm called Xana Capital, which sent shockwaves through the Armenian population worldwide. Around 25% of the historic quarter would be leased for 99 years to the company to build a hotel on. This deal was made without the consent of the quarter's residents and fueled fears of displacement. Since then, the Patriarchate has tried to backtrack on the deal, taking it to the Israeli courts, saying that they were misled by Xana Capital on the conditions. As a result, Israeli settlers have begun to attack and intimidate the Armenians living there periodically. CMEP was joined by Malkon Marizian, an Armenian Palestinian living in Jerusalem who told us about the trouble facing the Armenian Quarter today and what we can do to support the local Armenians there. #CMEPEducates #CMEPElevates #CMEPAdvocates #Armenia #ArmenianQuarter
