    ISRAEL NOT RECOGNIZING ARMENIAN PATRIARCH OF JERUSALEM

    June 06, 2013 | 16:15

    Israel is not recognizing Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem Nourhan
    Manougian whose installation was held on June 5 in Sourp Hagopyants
    (Saint James) Armenian Cathedral of Jerusalem.

    As a rule, Christian communities of Jerusalem try to appoint the
    figures who are approved by Israel, Jordan and Palestine. This turns
    the process into a serious diplomatic problem, yerkir.am writes.

    Appointment of Archbishop Nourhan breaks the rule as his candidacy
    was approved only by Palestine and Jordan, not Israel. Archbishop is
    known for his anti-Israeli statements and earlier this year condemned
    Israel for unwillingness to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
