"Armenians assume bootlicking attitude towards Russian "bosses" which
doesn’t match our people," Armenian singer Ruben Hakhverdian said with
regard to the recent assassination of 24-year-old Armenian in Moscow.

The authorities, especially, the RA Ambassador to Russia Armen
Smbatian, do not relevantly respond to Armenians’ cruel murders in
the Russian Federation.

RA Ambassador to Russia Armen Smbatian is concerned over establishing
personal relations with the RA high-ranking officials.

"Why should Armenians get delighted at Lujkov’s arrival? Do they
benefit from it? I think we cannot have great hopes from Armen
Smbatian. He is a conformist. If I am not mistaken Armen Smbatian
worked in the Yerevan Conservatory and now he "squanders" the
conservatory’s money, Hakhverdyan said.

Ruben Hakhverdian supports Georgia’s stance towards Russia. "I salute
their proud stance towards Russia."Georgia’s pride is preferable
to Armenia’s subservience. An ambassador conducts state policy. An
ambassador is dismissed if he fails to implement his liabilities
properly. If he is not dismissed, it means the authorities are content
with his work The government must protect its citizens rights both in
the country and beyond its boundaries," publicist Karine Akopian said.

People are killed in Russia because of their national identity. RA
authorities must take measures to protect Armenians’ rights
overseas. We must unite and respond adequately to their misdeeds,
Ruben Hakhverdian said.
