/PanARMENIAN.Net/ As it was reported earlier, Russian magazine
Kommersant Dengi (¹19) affixed a booklet advertising Turkey’s places
of interest. In addition the readers found a CD with a 70-minute film
about the `Turkish genocide perpetrated by Armenians’. As reported by
the Yerkramas, the newspaper of Armenians of Russia, the Armenian
Internet Community (, ,
forum.hayastan.com and others) launched a protest action and offered
all people concerned to write a letter to the magazine editorial
office with a suggestion to apologize for having spread false
information.

The numerous letters sent to the Kommersant Dengi say that `the
Armenian Diaspora of Russia is one of the biggest in the world.
Armenians have worked for Russia’s welfare for centuries. The Republic
of Armenia is Russia’s strategic partner and the two states enjoy
allied relations. An anti-Armenian action of the kind carried by
Turkey through your edition cannot but arouse discontent among the
Armenian population of Russia. We appeal to you with a request to
apologize to the readers for having spread information that does not
correspond to historical reality and offends the feelings of the heirs
of the Armenian Genocide victims. The denial of the Armenian Genocide
is actually equal to complicity in the crime.’
