Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State Matthew Miller has commented on the situation gripping the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem.
Top authorities in the Armenian Quarter have expressed deep concern that the Israeli Government was using the conflict in Gaza to push out a lot of Armenian Christians from the Armenian Quarter.
“So no specific response to that. But as we have said on a number of occasions, we do not want to see the Government of Israel take any steps that would escalate tensions,” Miller said.
