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.
