The other day, one of the central British newspapers "Financial Times" stated about the seizure of the land belonging to the Armenian Patriarchy of Jerusalem. According to the article, the leaders of the Armenian community accuse Israel of that the seizure of the church land does not aim at the security strengthening as the Israeli authorities claim but it is an attempt to expand its borders along the western bank of Jordan river. The 40-meter wall is to stretch along the full length of the church territory and will become the part of the 350-meter fence that is being built along the western bank of Jordan river and around Jerusalem in order to prevent terror. The article states the leadership of the Armenian church considers the main reason for the land seizure is Israel's wish to guarantee personal access to Jesus Christ's grave and the Armenian church is in the center of the territorial controversy against its will. As the newspaper stated, the representatives of the Armenian authorities addressed Israeli premier Simon Peres urging to recognize the fact of the land seizure as a violation of the rights of the Armenian Apostolic Church. At the meetings with the Armenian party, the Israeli authorities state the order on the seizure of the land is irrevocable. In response, the church appealed to the Supreme Court of Israel. At present the construction activities for the wall building are stopped temporarily, the newspaper states.
