The real estate deal which gives an Australian-Israeli investor roughly 25 percent of the Old City's Armenian quarter has sparked anger and concern among its residents. "The youth arrived in large numbers and positioned themselves in front of the bulldozers," recalled resident Kegham Balian of the escalation last month. "The settlers underestimated our community," said the Armenian merchant. "We are waging a peaceful struggle, and we are not afraid." Ever since the construction began, Armenians have set up camp...
