Jerusalem: City of Dreams, City of Sorrows
1 JERUSALEM: CITY OF DREAMS, CITY OF SORROWS More than ever before, urban historians tell us that global cities tend to look very much alike. For U.S. students. the“ look alike” perspective makes it more difficult to empathize with and to understand cultures and societies other than their own. The admittedly superficial similarities of global cities with U.S. ones leads to misunderstandings and confusion. The multiplicity of cybercafés, high-rise buildings, bars and discothèques, international hotels, restaurants, and boutique retailers in shopping malls and multiplex cinemas gives these global cities the appearances of familiarity. The ubiquity of schools, university campuses, signs, streetlights, and urban transportation systems can only add to an outsider’s “cultural and social blindness.” Prevailing U.S. learning goals that underscore American values of individualism, self-confidence, and material comfort are, more often than not, obstacles for any quick study or understanding of world cultures and societies by visiting U.S. student and faculty.1 Therefore, international educators need to look for and find ways in which their students are able to look beyond the veneer of the modern global city through careful program planning and learning strategies that seek to affect the students in their “reading and learning” about these fertile centers of liberal learning. As the students become acquainted with the streets, neighborhoods, and urban centers of their global city, their understanding of its ways and habits is embellished and enriched by the walls, neighborhoods, institutions, and archaeological sites that might otherwise cause them their “cultural and social blindness.” Jerusalem is more than an intriguing global historical city.

Armenian Christians in Jerusalem: 1700 Years of Peaceful Presence*
Laury Haytayan1 Прегледни рад Arab Region Parliamentarians Against Corruption UDK:27(479.25)(569.44) ARMENIAN CHRISTIANS IN JERUSALEM: 1700 YEARS OF PEACEFUL PRESENCE* Abstract This paper examines the presence of the Armenians in Jerusalem for the past 1700 years. This historical account sheds the light on the importance of Jerusa- lem for the Armenians, especially for the Armenian Church that was granted the authority to safeguard the Holy Places in the Holy Land with the Greek and Latin Churches. During the centuries, the Armenians survived all the conquests and were able to find all sorts of compromises with all the different powers that conquered Jerusalem. This study shows that the permanent presence is due to the wise religious authorities and the entire Armenian community who had no backing from super powers but they had their religious beliefs and their per- sistence in safeguarding the Holy Places of Christianity. The author takes the reader back in History by stopping at important events that shaped the history of the Armenians in the Holy Land. Key words: Jerusalem, Armenians, Crusaders, Holy Land, St James Monas- tery, Old City, Armenian Quarter. Introduction This paper comes at a time when Christians in Iraq and Egypt are being mas- sacred in their churches, Christians in Nazareth are being forbidden to decorate a Christmas tree in public space, and Christians in Lebanon are seeking to pre- serve their political rights to safeguard their presence in their Homeland. At a time, when the Palestinian Authority is alerting the International Community of the danger of the continuous and ferocious settlement construction in East Jerusalem by the State of Israel, and at a time when Christians of the East are being silent on the fate of Jerusalem by leaving it in the hands of the Palestinian and Israeli negotiators, hoping that the Unites States will be the caretaker of the Christians of Jerusalem.

Yet the exact nature of the impact of roHgi nn on± the geography of the city is not so clearly known. The way in which religion through the pilgrim trade has over the centuries permeated into the general economy of the city would suggest that the influence of this factor is large.

Celebrating Jerusalem Day in Jerusalem
Celebrating Jerusalem Day in Jerusalem During the Six Day War in 1967, Israeli troops captured the eastern part of the divided city of Jerusalem and repatriated the Holy City and the Temple mount to Jewish sovereignty. Fifty years ago we liberated the city from the Jordanians… but this was a liberation we had waited for, for almost 2000 years. When the Almighty causes a miracle of this magnitude, the best way to say “Thank you” is to act on the opportunity He has provided us. So I decided to go into the Old City of Jerusalem this past Wednesday (Jerusalem Day) to pray and give thanks at the Kotel (Western Wall). I took the light-rail train from the French Hill neighborhood of the city where my children live and arrived in downtown Jerusalem around 11am. Jaffa Road is filled with outdoor cafes and we stopped to do some people watching. Shmuel in the Jewish Quarter People were arriving not only from all over the country, but all over the world to celebrate. Very soon the first young paraders passed by . From there we walked for about five minutes passing the City Hall and then arrived outside the Old City walls. Before 1948 you could not make this walk, “western Jerusalem” where we had our coffee, was separated from the Old City by barbed wire, no- mans land and Jordanian soldiers and snipers! We enter the Old City of Jerusalem via Jaffa Gate. It’s named that because the road to Jaffa port and the Mediterranean coast starts here. Actually it still does! If you walk away from Jaffa Gate, you arrive at Jaffa Road (where we had coffee).

The ArmeniAns of PAlesTine 1918 – 48 Bedross der Matossian For the Armenians of Palestine, the three decades of the Mandate were probably the most momentous in their fifteen hundred-year presence in the country. The period witnessed the community’s pro- found transformation under the double impacts of Britain’s Palestine policy and waves of destitute Armenian refugees fleeing the massa- cres in Anatolia. The article presents, against the background of late Ottoman rule, a comprehensive overview of the community, includ- ing the complexities and role of the religious hierarchy, the initially difficult encounter between the indigenous Armenians and the new refugee majority, their politics and associations, and their remarkable economic recovery.
