News - Jerusalem Armenians block ‘Cows’ Garden’ entrance, again prohibit demolition of wall

Kegham Balian, a correspondent of The Armenian Weekly, wrote on X—former Twitter—that since November 12, a large group of Jerusalemite Armenians, in cooperation with the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, assembled in protest in the area of “Armenian Gardens”—known as the “Cows' Garden” in the Old City of Jerusalem—and barricaded the access to the wall, with cars and fences, in order to impede any further illegal construction on the Armenian property. And on Monday morning, two bulldozers attempted to tear down the barricade. "And again, together, we stood in front of them, as they tried to find a gap in our human fence. Faced with our resolve, they backed down, again," Balian added, in particular. Other side brings armed officers, trained dogs, damages Armenian estate after canceling ‘Cows’ Garden’ deal in Jerusalem
