Jerusalem, 1934. Contract of Lease between 'His Beatitude Thorgom Kouchakian Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem' and a Lessee for property within the Armenian area of the city. Includes a payment schedule as well as a series of regulations that both parties agreed to with corresponding signatures. The Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, also known as the Armenian Patriarchate of Saint James, is located in the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem. During World War I, survivors of the Armenian Genocide received shelter in the Armenian Convent in Jerusalem, which allowed them to create a small community which still exists to this day. Most Armenians in Jerusalem live in and around the Patriarchate at the St. James Monastery, which occupies most of the Armenian Quarter of the Old City. Apart from Jerusalem, there are Armenian Communities in Jaffa, Haifa and Nazareth, and in the Palestinian Territories. Unique and interesting piece of Middle East history, Very Rare.
