/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Today leader of the Union of Armenians of Russia
(UAR) Ara Abrahamyan stated he considers the next murder of an
Armenian as a provocation by extremist forces on the eve of G8 summit
in Saint Petersburg, “It is apparently a provocation on the eve of G8
summit by dark forces, which do not want Russia to follow the way of
democratization and civilization.” However, Abrahamyan does not see
“a direct attack against Armenians” in that crime. “Fascists do not
choose people by nationality, they choose their victims by color of
eyes and that of skin. In his opinion, it is necessary to organize
a round table discussion over xenophobia issues with participation
of national public unions and representatives of the authorities,
first of all law-enforcement bodies.

Ethnic Armenian Artur Sardaryan, 19, is killed in Moscow. He was
attacked in a Moscow electric train near Klyazma station on May

who attacked him, stabbed him with a knife in his neck from behind,
cutting carotid artery, then stabbed 5 times in his chest in the
heart area. Then they stopped the train by means of the emergency
brake and fled, Russian media report.
