PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
Azg Armenian daily reported, citing Maan Palestinean Information
agency, that recently Jerusalem City Authorities passed a decision to
bring down an Armenian Catholic church in the Ð~^ld City. "Israeli
authorities’ step is considered as an encroachment on Old City’s

domination of Jews in the Old City," the agency reported.
