ARMENIA MAY CONVINCE ISRAEL TO WITHDRAW ITS TROOPS FROM ARMENIAN CHURCH LANDS

IN JERUSALEM

The diplomatic and other efforts of Armenia to persuade Israel into

withdrawing its troops from the lands of the Jerusalem Patriarchy of the

Armenian Apostolic Church and into abandoning the idea of building a

protection wall there must have had their effect.

 

According to the Armenian foreign minister, Vartan Oskanyan, Israel is ready

to reconsider its decision, but he does not know yet when and how. In any

case Israel has already stopped the construction. Oskanyan stressed the need

to continue the efforts.

 

To remind, the lands were seized in June 2002. Israel said it was going to

erect a wall there to protect itself from Palestine. Representatives of many

Christian denominations, including the Pontiff himself, expressed their

protest against those activities
