He centers his discussion on three main, popular areas of the quarter: the Calouste Gulbenkian Library, the Cathedral of Saint James, and the Saint Tarkmantchatz School. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn his research, Areg interviewed numerous people who call the Armenian Quarter home. In doing so, Sarkissian takes the discussion of the Armenian Quarter out of the realm of academia and puts it back among the people. He stresses the need to interview the populace to get a view of the quarter. The opinions of the government or the clergy aren't enough to get the whole picture, and they may not present the true story. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor clarity, Sarkissian limits his research to two particular time-frames-1948 and 1967-both eras of violence and upheaval for the quarter. He explores how building renovations and upkeep can be used to direct people's cultural and religious traditions. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSarkissian ends his research with a discussion of the Armenian Quarter's future and speculation about its changing status among the various religious and ethnic groups in Jerusalem. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Areg Allen Sarkissian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1537064657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781537064659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d","brand":"Areg Allen Sarkissian","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445328031999,"sku":"9781537064659","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe1586f8-7ab1-4218-8a15-ec64194b9668.jpg?v=1777217950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-jerusalem-of-transformation-popular-areg-allen-sarkissian-9781537064659","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
