/PanARMENIAN.Net/ As it was reported earlier, Russian magazine
Kommersant Dengi (¹19) affixed a booklet advertising Turkey’s places
of interest. In addition the readers found a CD with a 70-minute
film about the “Turkish genocide perpetrated by Armenians”. As
reported by the Yerkramas, the newspaper of Armenians of Russia,
the Armenian Internet Community (, ,
forum.hayastan.com and others) launched a protest action and offered
all people concerned to write a letter to the magazine editorial office
with a suggestion to apologize for having spread false information.
The numerous letters sent to the Kommersant Dengi say that
“the Armenian Diaspora of Russia is one of the biggest in the
world. Armenians have worked for Russia’s welfare for centuries. The
Republic of Armenia is Russia’s strategic partner and the two states
enjoy allied relations. An anti-Armenian action of the kind carried
by Turkey through your edition cannot but arouse discontent among
the Armenian population of Russia. We appeal to you with a request
to apologize to the readers for having spread information that does
not correspond to historical reality and offends the feelings of the
heirs of the Armenian Genocide victims. The denial of the Armenian
Genocide is actually equal to complicity in the crime.”
