Jerusalem: Armenian Christians fight controversial land deal

The Armenians of Jerusalem have only just held their annual Christmas celebration on 19 January.

But this year, it's been overshadowed by the war in Gaza and a new threat to the survival of the community from a contested real estate deal. This deal could see them lose 25% of their land in their ancient quarter of the Old City.

Armenians date their presence in the holy city back to the 4th Century. Many of the 2,000-strong community live inside the large, cobble-stoned compound of St James Convent.
