JERUSALEM – Here in Jerusalem’s Armenian Quarter, an ancient Christian community is fighting to protect its historic land. They’re resisting an attempt to put a hotel on property they’ve owned for centuries, and they believe the issue raises broader concerns for the Christian presence in the city.
The Armenian Quarter, with its ancient heritage, is facing a land dispute that has implications beyond these ancient walls. A land deal with a Jewish businessman leased a large portion of the Armenian quarter of the old city, and the investor plans a luxury hotel that would demolish homes where Armenians have lived for centuries.
Armenian Resident Garo Nalbandian told CBN News, “My family comes in 1920s after the Turkish massacres. My father come along with the sister without their families.”

Dont worry zionist christian will defend jews and throw armenian under the bus as usual
This is what you get for standing with Israel. They will eliminate the historic Christians from the city and the land.
🙏🏻
Sending love from Greece to our Armenian brothers and sisters.. free the entire land of Palestine so that the world can heal 🇬🇷🇦🇲❤️🇵🇸
Basro 🇺🇲
Those jews forget that Armenia is the first christian country in the world. If anyone has the right to represent christ in the holy land its us.
A heathen antichristian state does heathen antichristian things.
Thank you for bringing this up. Christians are not protected in many places in the world today. This is sad and concerning.
since the 4th century, since Christiandome, n the jews that occupied 1948 steeling it away from the arabs etc…atrocity to the 9th degree helped by zionist english, americans and rothchilds the azhechonzi diablicol blood line deep rooted in witchcraft kabalism masonory etc…
please keep in mind they do not give an arse, they kill their own kind, one prime example they murdered Jesus, our lord and savior…why can not this be said out loud…
yet again the direct threat of zionist jews who stop at nothing to do the devils work period!!!!!
American citizens didn't vote for Netanyahu or Kushner.
Evangelicalicals needs to stop the Netanyahu worshipping. Now Christian Community in the Levant targeted and displaced by Settlers and IDF.
Evangelicalicals Zionism preached in televangelist mega Churches provoking and funded the catastrophe in the Holy Land.
This MUST be stopped!!!!!
Remove that Armenian Jerusalem Patriarch for Selling Armenian History, Culture, Generations for 99 years. Is it his Father's land to sell? It is Entire Armenians past, present and the Future!!! Tell him to reverse this deal with the Other party!! Or less removed all of his Patriarch Titles.!! He is a Traitor to Entire Armenian Generations in Jerusalem!!
That’s messed up our side with the Armenians on this one they want to be in the religious holy land to their beliefs and getting swiped away for hotels for money gain it’s pathetic
May God protect and bless Armenia!!!!!
God bless Armenia 🇦🇲 the first Christian ✝️ country the land of Prophet Noah Gbhs
🙏🙏🙏🙏
American Zionists don’t care. If you think Israel isn’t behind this, keep fooling yourselves.
Israel been doing this to the Arabs in Jerusalem for decades… unfortunately Christian Zionists had no issue with those actions.
Most American Christians are very supportive of Israel. Clearly the Armenians, like the Palestinians, are not native to the Holy Land since the Jewish presence dates to before Jesus was born. The Armenians are part of an Eastern Orthodox type denomination very different from American or Western Christianity as we know it. They should read the Bible more carefully about the role Israel plays in prophesy and the promises God made regarding the Nation of Israel.
How ruthless to destroy and erase the history.
Stupid idea, building a Hotel is absolute desecration of not only the Armenian Quarter but the old city itself. Build that Hotel somewhere else! What happened to the protection of Antiquity? Defend ARMENIAN QUARTER, ENOUGH WITH INSANITY
He does not know how many tricks the Armenian nation has done here.
Armenia has no history and past. They didn't have a mining heritage or cuisine, they took the culture and cuisine of the Turkic language nation in their own name. The ancestors of Armenians are Indian gypsies, that's why they spread all over the world and beg like beggars.
They should point out to the court the Biblical law not to move the landmark or a curse will come upon you. That should end it.
At 1:25, Hagop Djernazian said that the Armenian Patriarchate signed a 99-year lease with a Jewish businessman to build the hotel. So it seems the fault lies with whoever in the Armenian patriarchate signed this deal, does it not?
It's a fraudlent sale, as such, it would null & voids this deal. It's going to stay in court as long as it can until settlers take over this area. Since tthe person involved is a Jewish Australian, this also involves Australia. This case can be fought over there as well. This land deal didn't not involve the Armenians, it was taken from them a keen to land grab. It did not have informed consent, this deal is null & voided.
This has to stop! This is beyond acceptable!
Armenian quarter for Armenians!
"God's Chosen" 😂😂😂
Les médias rapportent que des soldats français accompagnant une mission d'observation de l'UE ont violé et tué une écolière en Arménie.28.01.24
MURDERER JEWS ARE EVERYWHERE SAH 😂 PLEASE GIVE THIS JEWS A LESSON 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
In this case i think i will not sided to Israel even im not Armenian. The estabelity of peace of all the quarters of religion is broken. Don't push this idea let this Armenian quarter be same forever as will as other religion quarters too.
I'm a roman Catholic Christian.
As Vietnamese Christian convert, I stand by and fight with my Armenian brothers and sisters. May God protect and bless Armenia and her ancient people. Amen.
Defend the Christian minority in Israel from the Knesset oppression!
And than they wonder where antisemitism coming from
It's very sad that the descendants of the Turkish genocide of Armenians are displaced by holocaust descendants.
Thany You BBC news ❤💙🧡
Jews never loved Armenians. They don't even recognize the Armenian Genocide. The Israelis, together with the turks, only harm the Armenians. It is not news.
God bless the Armenian Christians in Jerusalem 🙏
Thank you for bringing attention for this heat breaking story. Stay strong dear patriots!!!
Now CBN cares when it's about the christians. When it's the Christians that are having their homes demolished so that the Jewish people can settle on the land. But it's perfectly fine and Israel is totally within their right to do it to the muslims. But if they do it to a Christian you guys are all upset about it come on. The Muslims resist the occupation and they get called bad names and are made out to be the bad ones. They go through the same things that the Christians are right now in this video the Muslims have been going through this for years where their homes are taking forcefully they are demolished and bulldozed and nobody seems to care but it happens to Christian Armenians and you guys want to report on it the hypocrisy is just overwhelming
Thank you CBN news and Chuck to share this! Armenians stay strong and keep the buldozers out of your places! God bless you and strenghthen you all!
Lord the heart of kings is in your hand to turn it like rivers as you like, turn the heart of men who wants to change the land of Armenians quarters, that they shall leave the stones and land mark at the Christians Armenians quarters unchanged for centuries to come and bless them with other opportunities elsewhere in Yeshua mighty name. Amen.
Lord bless the Armenians Christians and all the prosecuted Christians in the Middle East, malnipur of India, and all over the world, be the lifter of their head and restore them in every aspects of life in the mighty name of Yeshua. Amen.
God forbid
God bless the Armenian Christians in Jerusalem. 🙏 🙏 🙏
Dear lord God protect this place
As it Armenians love Jews . They’re the biggest anti semites outside of Islam
