The Armenian Foreign Ministry has expressed deep concern over the recent attacks on Armenians and the Armenian Patriarchate in Jerusalem.
“We are deeply concerned by recent acts of violence and vandalism targeting Christian religious institutions in Jerusalem, including Armenian Patriarchate and the Armenian residents of the Old City,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Vahan Hunanyan tweeted on Monday.
Israeli extremists attacked the headquarters of the Armenian Patriarchate in Jerusalem and climbed the Patriarchate’s walls to take down its flag on Sunday, Fr. Aghan Gogchean has revealed.
Extremist groups also wrote racist graffiti on the walls of the Patriarchate and attacked on a monk in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
The Armenian restaurant Taboon Wine Bar was earlier attacked by a group of Israeli extremists.
