/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia condemns genocide of Armenians, Serbs and
other nations, a State Duma member said.

"We tried to dissuade Europe from applying double standards as it
was in case with Kosovo," Gavriil Popov, member of United Russia
faction said, reminding that thousands of civilians were killed in
South Ossetia during several days.

Member of Just Russia party Boris Guseletov stressed the necessity of
close collaboration with all Diasporas throughout the globe to prevent
the crime of genocide. "We condemn any nationalistic aggression,"
he said.

"Genocide is a complicated topic for discussion not only for Russia
but for the entire international community," said Natalya Velikaya,
head of ideology and public policy of Just Russia party. "This problem
can be resolved through a continued public dialogue," she said,
reported Yerkramas, the newspaper of Armenians of Russia.
