The statement of the advisor of Russian Foreign Minister on
natonality affiars in 1999-2001 Vsevolod Maryan is a provacation
first directed agaisnt Russia itself, Soyun Sadigov, the president of
"Azerros", told the special correspondent of Trend in Moscow.

Maryan made a statement that Azerbaijani group in Russia annually
allocated $50m for killing Armenians. In oppinion of Maryan, the
crime in the national context has started after the collapse of the
USSR.

Sadigov called this a provacation directed against Russia itself and
towards kindling the restless international relations in this
country.

In Russia there are such types of politicians such as Jirnoviski,
Zatulin, Kazimirov who do not avoid to speculate such attacks and
violate the friendly relations of Russia with its neighbours, as well
as with Azerbaijan, told Sadigov.

Besides, Sadigov did not agree with the issue that mob groups of
Azerbaijan function in Russia. He noted that there were numerous and
mixed groups of business people in Russia which are not involved in
crimes, but economical interests.

About 160 nations are living in Russia and we take our position that
Azerbaijanis are not comers, but pure people of Russia. For instance,
Darband was and is pure Azerbaijani city, and during the power of
Khurushov it was included in the composition of Dagestan.
Unfortunately, there are certain political forces in Russia such as
Jirnovski and other communists who offer to apply visa regime with
Azerbaijan and limit economic opportunities of Azerbaijan. It is
clear that all these statements are directed towards hostility.
Therefore we invite all Russian national-patriotic organizations to
our measure " We – Russians!" to understand them the real things and
deliver the truth to them.
