The municipal authorities in several cities and towns of Russia are
said to have established a strict ban on local Armenian communities
plans to mark the Genocide centennial.

They have reportedly forced Armenian organizations to remove billboards
and signs put up earlier.

Speaking to the paper, Gayane Alexanyan, a representative of the
Armenian community of Vladimir said the city is one of the places
where initiatives to hold such events often meet obstacles.
