/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Moscow committee of regional relations and
national policy suggested development of extra measures to combat
extremism and xenophobia.

Discussion of national policy issues was initiated after the closure
of Cherkizovsky market, which hosted some 3000 traders from foreign
countries.

According to committee head Mikhail Solomentsev, special working group
should be formed to patrol the districts where nationalists run riots.

An Instruction for Muscovites will also be published to teach tolerance
towards migrants.

"The initiative will not demand heavy expenses, but terms of
implementation have not been determined yet," he said.
