Rebel Greek Monks Hurl Petrol Bombs At Court Bailiffs To Evict Them

REBEL GREEK MONKS HURL PETROL BOMBS AT COURT BAILIFFS TO EVICT THEM FROM MONASTERY

14:10 30.07.13

Civilian authorities on Greece’s monastic sanctuary of Mount Athos
have said a group of monks facing eviction have attacked court bailiffs
with rocks and petrol bombs, Fox News reported.

No one was injured in the incident early Monday outside the Esphigmenou
Monastery at the sanctuary in northern Greece, and no arrests were
reported. The bailiffs retreated from the site.

About 100 monks in the 1,000-year-old monastery have been involved in
a years-old dispute with the spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox
Christians, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, over his efforts to
improve relations with the Vatican.

The monks have defied court orders to leave the monastery and allow
church-appointed replacements to take over the site.

Armenian News – Tert.am

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
