    PATRIARCH SAYS ARMENIANS TO BLAME FOR SUNDAY'S VIOLENCE

    Greece

    The head of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate in Jerusalem, Theophilos
    III, on Monday blamed Armenian monks for the widely publicized fist
    fight with Greek clergy in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher a day
    earlier. "The Armenians are constantly provoking us," he told NET
    TV. "They claim additional rights and seek to equate their privileges
    with ours, which date back centuries." Two monks, one from each side,
    were arrested when Israeli riot police moved in to break up the fight.
