A tour of the Armenian Quarter, the Old City of Jerusalem - a place that is not open to the public

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.
ISRAEL: JERUSALEM: ARMENIAN QUARTER MEMORIAL
Natural Sound
About 200 people gathered in the Armenian quarter of the old city of Jerusalem on Monday to remember the slaying of more than one (m) million Armenians in 1915.
Men, women and children marched through the streets of the old city, and stopped to
lay wreaths and light candles in remembrance of those who died in their homeland.
They were marking the day the Turkish government began a mass deportation of the country's large Armenian population.
Jerusalem's Armenian community gathered here in the old part of the city to remember
those who died during a mass deportation of Armenians from their homeland earlier this century.
On April 24, 1915, a group of 235 Armenian intellectuals and political leaders were killed in an attack which the Armenian community blames on soldiers from the then crumbling Ottoman Empire.
The group was accused of helping invading Russians during the First World War.
The Turks then began deporting Armenians living in eastern Turkey to Syria.
Turkey says 300-thousand Armenians died in the deportation.
The Armenians claim 1.5 (m) million of their people were killed between 1915 and 1923.
They say they are still waiting for an admission of guilt from Turkey.
But the Turkish government rejects accusations of genocide.
Easter is a significant weekend in the highly religious Armenian culture.
In the 4th century, Armenia became the first nation to make Christianity its state religion.
It's a feat the Armenians based in Jerusalem are still proud of.
Today, there are many Armenian communities spread across the globe, with those who were deported earlier this century finding new homes.
The Armenian people have a history of suffering at the hands of invading powers.
The Israeli Education Minister called for the international community to recognise the suffering of the Armenian people.
SOUNDBITE: (Hebrew)
In this day we the Jewish people, victims of the Holocaust, will test our attitude towards the pain of others. The Massacre that the Turkish people did in 1915 and 1916 is one of the worst things that happened during Modern History.
SUPERCAPTION: Yossi Sarid, Israeli Education Minister
Western Armenia was invaded by Ottoman Turks in 1405, while eastern Armenia was annexed by Russia in 1828, and was part of the Soviet Union from 1920 to 1991.

JERUSALEM: The WALLS of the OLD CITY, from the ARMENIAN to JEWISH QUARTER ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit the Old City of Jerusalem and let's walk on the defensive walls, starting from Jaffa Gate and by completing our walk at Dung Gate. We will be walking around the Armenian and the Jewish quarters. The Walls of Jerusalem surround the Old City of Jerusalem ( which is approx. on square kilometer in size). In 1535, when Jerusalem was part of the Ottoman Empire, Sultan Suleiman I ordered the ruined city walls to be rebuilt. The work took some four years, between 1537 and 1541.
The length of the walls is 4,018 meters (2.5 miles), their average height is 12 meters (39.37 feet) and the average thickness is 2.5 meters (8.2 feet). The walls contain 34 watchtowers and seven main gates open for traffic, we will start our walk from Jaffa Gate on the western side of the Old City.
Jerusalem is a city in the Middle East, located on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, and is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Convent of the Olive Tree or Holy Archangels Church
To the Armenians, the Holy Archangels Church, situated within St. James Convent, is known as the wedding chapel. Armenian couple take their vows in this 12th-century stone church. However, the Holy Archangels is also known to some as the house of Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas the High Priest (John 18:19-24). There, they believe, Jesus was brought after his arrest in Gethsamane to await trial with the high priest. Church tradition says that Jesus was tied to an Olive Tree on the premises, and that olive tree still exists today.
That is why the church/convent is also known as Deir al Zeytune, the Convent of the Olive Tree. This olive tree has been sacred ever since and has been a destination for pilgrims. On Good Friday, a special ceremony is held at the tree. Another tradition consists of miracles of healing related to the tree for barren women and fever.
The convent of the Holy Archangels is a typical medieval convent and preserves the old Armenian church style: divided into two parts with the external vestibule and the inner church. The foundation was laid by Queen Helen. These places since that time have been protected secretly and openly by Armenian monks and faithful hermits. Foreign historians for the first time in the 7th century have mentioned that this convent belongs to the Armenians. In the course of time the kings and rulers of Cilicia have carried out renovations, such as Armenian King Levon III in the year 1286. He has constructed a wall around the monastery of the Archangels, and has left an inscription.
Another tradition linked with the Holy Archangels Church places it as the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. The scripture, in 2 Samuel 24:18, says that after David saw the angel, On that day the prophet Gad told David, Go up and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
07.04.18 - Israeli police arested armenian in Armenian quarter
The Armenians have been inhabiting Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem over 2000 years.
on 07.04.18 Police of Old City of Jerusalem with other forces locked/blocked Armenians in Quarter and didn't want to leave them to wait outside Monastery as thousand years.
Yet Armenians wouldn't agree with that. In the long run a lot of policemen arrested an Armenian young man Petros Kiriakosyan and held him detained till the end of Holy Fire ceremony.
Most Armenians didn't hear about it because they were in Holy Sepulchre church.
Although the police at length fulfilled Armenians' requirement it is rather revolting that Armenians should each time fight for their clearly legal right.

The first right turn after entering the cosmopolitan bustle of the Christian Quarter through Jaffa Gate leads to the most enigmatic and secluded section of the Old City: the Armenian Quarter. The legacy of Armenian Christians in Jerusalem is as long as that of Armenian Christianity itself; by the time Armenia was declared a Christian state at the beginning of the fourth century CE (making it the first Christian state in history), Armenians were making regular pilgrimages to the Holy City.
It was not long before many pilgrims turned to permanent settlers, and the concurrent discovery and consecration of Christian holy sites throughout Jerusalem meant that the Armenians would forever be woven into the fabric of the city's Christian life.
Today's Armenian community has been diminished by war and emigration, but between 500 and 1,000 Armenians still call the Old City home, living in the literal and figurative shadow of St. James Church, the seat of the Armenian patriarchate and center for Armenian religious life in Jerusalem. The residential areas of the quarter, as well as the church and its extensive grounds, are usually closed to tourists, but the quarter does offer an interesting -- if spartan -- museum of Armenian history and several shops specializing in Armenian handicrafts, including the community's famous ceramic and tile work.
