/PanARMENIAN.Net/ New emergency case in Moscow: Students from
Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia again were fighting on the
Miklukho-Maklaya street.

The alleged organizer escaped on a car and now is in the police
list of those wanted. According to law enforcement bodies one of the
participants of the fight was taken to hospital with knife wounds.

According to preliminary information the fight was organized by
immigrants from Caucasus. And the immediate cause of the fight was
a political dispute: which country owns Nagorno Karabakh – Armenia
or Azerbaijan?

Some small brawls began during an event organized in the university
entitled "Planet South-East", where several thousands of students
and guests participated.

In the result they overgrew into a mass fight.

According to the police more than 100 students participated in
the scuffle. Law enforcement bodies managed to bring the situation
under their control only when an additional reinforcement arrived at
the scene.

Last month another mass fight took place in PFUR between foreign
students. Then the police managed to stop disorders without involving
reinforcement troops.

But during the following several days a strict control was organized
in the university and adjacent territories. Passions calmed down. But
obviously not for a long time, Russian media reports.
