40 Armenian nationals ousted from Russian province
Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
Nov 23 2004
Forty Armenians have recently been evicted from Russia’s Krasnodar
province, Russian press reports said on Monday.
Officials of the province explain Armenians’ banishment with their
illegal migration and living in the region without any official
registration. However, the move was due to the fact that local
Armenians demand autonomy and claim that Krasnodar is a “historical
Armenian land”, a reliable source told AssA-Irada.
The leadership of Krasnodar, which is densely populated by Armenians,
began to oust Armenians from the province several months ago after
considering the increasing discontent of the local residents.*
