/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Union of Armenians of Russia doesn’t see reasons
to speak of xenophobia growth. "The situation in Russia tends to
improve… One Armenian has been killed through national hatred since
last September," said UAR Vice-president Vyacheslav Galustayn. "All
murders through national hatred were revealed and those responsible
taken into custody," he added.

Galustyan did not refer the killing of Moscow schoolboy Artur
Martirosyan to xenophobia. The UAR leadership will closely watch the
investigation, he said, reports the Echo of Moscow.

The dead body of 16-year-old Artur Martirosyan was found Friday
morning. The boy was registered in Tomilino (Podmoskovie) and resided
in a rented flat with his parents in Moscow since 2003. A criminal
case was initiated in compliance of Article 105 (murder) of the
Russian Penal Code
