Armenian Apostolic Church has not expressed a position on Jerusalem

According to Arabologist Hayk Kocharyan, the Armenian Church should also express its position on the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

A letter was sent to US president Donald Tramp, signed by the spiritual leaders of Jerusalem’s Christian communities. The expert welcomed the Armenian patriarchate’s step and said: “Jerusalem does not belong to any nation or any other country, it is a cultural heritage, it is the center of three religions.
We have a great heritage there and we should stand for it. The situation will be tense there.”

US President Donald Trump’s statement on recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel has caused a great stir not only in Turkey, but also in all neighboring countries, and even the US colleagues have been deeply concerned and protested.

According to Mr. Kocharyan, this step of Trump was conditioned not only by the pre-election promise, but also by the influence of the Jewish lobby. “The groom, who is also his advisor, is known for his personal ties with the Israeli government, and I believe that this has played an important role. There are many other factors, but the fact is that there is already a statement, and we should deal with the consequences of it.”

This statement will increase the tension in the Middle East and we will witness the collapse of the fragile security system.
