Xenophobia and radicalism against Armenians really exist in Russia,
Russia’s Prosecutor General Yuri Chayka declared in Yerevan. In his
words, the number of such crimes is gradually increasing.

"Xenophobia and radicalism really exist. We see it and we are aware
of it. Two years ago we opened a special department at the Prosecutor
General’s Office, and the issue is in the focus of the President’s
attention. We are doing a great work in that direction," Chayka said.

As for the murder of the Armenian family in Moscow yesterday, Chayka
was not aware of the fact.

The Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation is in Armenia for
a working visit. Today the Prosecutor Generals of Armenia and Russia
Aghvan Hovsepyan and Yuri Chayka signed a Memorandum of Cooperation
for 2009-2011.
