YEREVAN, APRIL 27, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian Aryan Union sent a letter
to RF President Vladimir Putin and to the State Duma, in which it calls
attention to the increase of the wave of murders and violence towards
Armenians in Russia and especially in Moscow, in St Petersburg, in the
Krasnodar territory. “What is taking place in the state headed by you
by means of the so-called skinheads, causes serious anxiety. These
skinheads, being guided by Hitler Nazi (that has nothing in common
with the Russian nationalism) ideas receive state assistance from
certain (known to us) forces and purposefully and with impunity commit
terrible crimes. In the recent years the target of these gangs become
especially Armenians, and we resolutely protest against it and express
our indignation,” the document read. The Armenian Aryan Union also
cannot understand some steps, which are far from being pro-Armenian,
undertaken by RF authorities, the “unintelligible and non-friendly
treatment to the Republic of Armenia – the “property for debt”,
the uzurpation of the energy system through raising the tariff for
gas, the political “ban” on making the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline
transit. “We express the hope that resolute steps aimed at putting an
end to the anti-Armenian hysteria will be undertaken, otherwise we do
not exclude that willy-nilly, maybe by the instigation of a third side,
an anti-Russian wave will rise in Armenia that will endanger not only
the interests of Russians of Armenia but also those of RF general
policy,” the Armenian Aryan Union declares. As the party affirms,
such a policy will also question the necessity of existence of the
Russian military bases, “which cannot be considered as a reliable
structure in the context of these anti-Armenian manifestations”.
