The Palestinian administration considers the Armenian Quarter in the Old Jerusalem a part of Eastern Jerusalem, said Mahmoud Abbas, the head of Palestinian Authority.

The documents disclosed by Al Jazeera last month showed the Palestinian negotiators offered to give up claims to the Jewish and Armenian Quarters, Jerusalem Post reported.

“The Palestinian leadership sticks to its position that considers the Armenian Quarter an integral part of east Jerusalem, the capital of the independent Palestinian state,” said Abbas in the course of his meeting with the heads of Christian communities.
