My brother and I visited the Armenian Quarter in Sept 2019 and made good friends with George Hintlian who helped us explore whether an Armenian ancestor had been born in or married in Jerusalem and showed us the library with the large collection of information about Armenian genocide. He also shared how the governmental leaders in Jerusalem were making things hard for the Armenians and showed us where some of their Quarter had already been given to the Jewish Quarter. I go to a Lutheran Church in Iowa which keeps in close contact with a Lutheran establishment which has a building in Jerusalem very close to the Armenian Quarter. They were the folks who brought this additional problem to my attention several months ago. They are also doing what they can to preserve the Armenian Quarter. Can’t view the video referred to in this article because I do not use Facebook. Am giving money to AMAA and wonder if some of the money they receive supports your efforts to save the Quarter. Hope George is ok. Have not heard from him recently.
