Russia was held in front of the Russian Embassy January 31. Some 20
people, the representatives of Sargis Tkhruni youth union, Hnchakyan
social-democratic party and the youth wing of National
Self-Determination union took part in the action, The picket
participants read a statement that says in part, `Several years ago
fascist and chauvinistic organizations activated in Russia and as
result of `Russia for Russians’ slogan several dozens of Armenians
have already fallen victims to skinheads.

Under such circumstances Russia -Armenia’s strategic partner -tries to
represent these murders as an everyday phenomenon avoiding to mention
national discrimination and xenophobia. We call on these `strategic
partners’ to be more consistent and struggle against such phenomena.’
The letter was dropped in the mailbox for the Russia diplomatic
mission in Yerevan, reports IA Regnum.
