The Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem has received a donation amounting to $600,000 from Harutyun Ayvazian from Los Angeles, Asbarez reports.  

The donation is an appreciation of the Patriarchate’s role for the whole Christian world.

The donator has asked to allocate part of the sum for renovation of the Armenian St. Grigor Church in Jerusalem’s Katamon neighborhood.

Harutyun Ayvazian was born in Iraq in 1968, but moved to California. He’s specialized in chemistry, but is now engaged in real estate sale.

Patriarch Nurhan Manukyan expressed gratitude for the donation.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
