Armenian Quarter Jerusalem
Joined September 2023
🇦🇲 Next Goal: $200,000 🇦🇲 We would like to thank all our supporters for standing by our side for 294 days since the first attack on our Armenian Quarter -- that's how long we have been guarding our 1700-year-old Armenian Christian presence in the Old City of Jerusalem. We have been threatened, attacked, and encroached upon, yet our determination keeps on increasing with each passing day. WE ARE HERE TO STAY! 🇦🇲💪🏼 Having filed a class action lawsuit with over 400 signatories against this treacherous land deal that has endangered our very future and continuity, our legal expenses will only increase as the battle for Armenian Jerusalem commences on a legal front. Every single dollar is fully allocated to our legal defense. Help us reach our current goal, donate now: #Save_the_ArQ

Throwing it back to Christmas in the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem—walking through the convent alleys, sharing gifts, and honoring the community that has stood by us since day one. Grateful for these traditions that keep our roots strong. ✨

Save The ArQ's East Coast Tour - New York: On February 1, 2025, an unprecedented meeting was held in New York, bringing together representatives from the AGBU, the Eastern Diocese of the Holy See of Etchmiadzin, the Armenian Prelacy of the Holy See of Cilicia, the Armenian Assembly, the Armenian Democratic Liberal Ramgavar Party, the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, Justice Armenia, and the Armenian Bar Association. During the meeting, attendees received an in-depth briefing from the co-founders of the SaveTheArQ movement. The discussion covered the ongoing legal proceedings, the current situation in the Armenian Quarter, and future steps to safeguard its integrity. Representatives of the various organizations had the opportunity to raise concerns and ask questions directly to the SaveTheArQ movement. All participants agreed on the urgent need for Diaspora organizations to unite in efforts to nullify the illegal land deal concerning the Cows' Garden and to take further steps in protecting the Armenian community and the Armenian Patriarchate. At the end of the meeting appreciation ceramic tiles were given to the representatives. We extend our sincere gratitude to all the organizations that participated in this crucial meeting. The SaveTheArQ movement remains committed to strengthening its collaboration with Diaspora organizations and communities. Together, we stand united in this existential struggle.
