YEREVAN, JUNE 15, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The extreme
nationalism made its run in Russia that is addressed not only against
Armenians, does not come from Russians’ interest. RA Prime Minister
Andranik Margarian stated about it in the June 14 interview to
journalists. According to him, if this process continues, contrary
steps are also possible towards a great number of Russians living in
different countries of the CIS. "I think that Russia’s authorities
and legal bodies must clearly show their position," Andranik Margarian
mentioned.

According to the Prime Minister, a Tajik girl’s murder in
Saint-Petersburg got its worthy response, and it created a basis for
continuing similar actions.

As for the Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers’ meeting taken
place in Paris, the Prime Minister mentioned that it is provided by
the necessity again to organize a meeting between the Presidents of
the two countries.

According to Andranik Margarian, the sides had in Bucharest a great
possibility for a progress connected with the peaceful settlement
of the Karabakh conflict: "It’s a pity, that the possibility was not
used by Azerbaijan."
