The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention is greatly
\nconcerned about the threats to the integrity of the Armenian Quarter in East
\nJerusalem.

“We call on the United States and other close allies of
\nIsrael to take it upon themselves to guarantee the Armenian community due
\nprocess in this land dispute. The global Armenian community has already lost
\none important historical land this fall — Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), which was
\nforcibly depopulated when Azerbaijan invaded, massacred Armenians, and terrorized
\nalmost the entire Armenian population into fleeing. The Armenian people cannot
\nlose another.
<\/p><\/p>\n\n
The Armenian Quarter makes up about one-sixth of the city of
\nJerusalem. It is 1,600 years old, dating back to the reign of Roman Emperor
\nConstantine. The first settlement of Armenians in Jerusalem predates
\nConstantine even, with Armenians having settled in Jerusalem as early as the
\nfirst century BCE when the Armenian Empire controlled nearby territories in
\nSyria. Although the Armenian population in Jerusalem today is very small, the
\nArmenian Quarter remains an important part of the Armenian Diaspora presence as
\nthe oldest remaining living diaspora of Armenians,” reads the statement issued
\nby the Lemkin Institute.
