Yaser Arafat, president of Palestinian National Authority, condemned the Israelites’ attack on Deputy Armenian Patriarch Archbishop Nurhan Manukian. Arafat held a telephone conversation with archbishop inquiring about his health following a wanton assault as he was leading the religious procession of the Orthodox Armenians, Palestinian Wafa news agency reports.
A group of Jews assailed the religious procession of the Orthodox Armenians in the morning of October 10. The procession set off from the Armenian Patriarchate and passed through Hebron Gate and Suwayqiyat Allun to reach the Christian neighborhood where a mass was to be held at the Church of Holy Sepulchre in the holy city of Jerusalem. They ripped the cross off the archbishop’s chest, slapped him and threw his mitre on the ground in an extremely aggressive way that showed disrespect for men of religion.
