ARMENIANS OF RUSSIA ABLE TO RESIST ANTI-ARMENIAN ACTIONS
Pan Armenian News
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenians have both intellectual and financial
capacities to resist to anti-Armenian actions, however they do not
use these, editor-in-chief of the Yerkramas newspaper of Armenians of
Russia Tigran Tavadian stated in the course of an on-line interview at
OpenArmenia.com. In his words, in no circumstances violence should be
responded by violence, on the contrary violence should be counteracted
by legal means. He also added that self-defense also refers to legal
means. “However, the most important, if those destroyed graves at the
cemetery in Krasnodar or those who arranged pogroms of Armenian cafes
and shops in Slavyansk-on-Kuban were properly punished in the form of
imprisonment or a considerable money fine, their followers would have
pondered before organizing an anti-Armenian action,” Tigran Tavadian
accentuated. According to the information provided by Tavadian,
those, who arranged pogroms, got merely conditional sentences and
no one compensated material damage to the victims. In his words,
to that end a competent lawyer needs to be hired and paid well,
as well as other mechanisms of affecting courts should be enabled.
