Armenian Christians in Jerusalem's Old City are facing threats to their community and land, as well as increasing hostility from radical Jewish settlers. The Armenian residents, one of the oldest communities in Jerusalem, have lived in the Old City for decades without significant friction. However, they now fear for the future of their community as forces threaten their land and the multifaith character of the Old City. A land deal has put a quarter of their land at risk of being turned into a luxury hotel, and the community has begun to fracture under the pressure. The Armenian Christians are fighting to protect their dwindling population and embattled convent from obsolescence and takeover.
