ARMENIA: ANOTHER ANTI-RACISM PROTEST IN YEREVAN
UN Observer
Nov 17 2006
Narek Kocharyan, 15, was beaten and stabbed to death in the settlement
of Ivanteyevka in the Moscow region last Saturday (November 11).
"We believe this is an offense of special severity, doubtlessly,
a group crime racially motivated," said Simon Tsaturyan, the lawyer
representing the Union of Armenians of Russia in an interview to Radio
Liberty. Tsaturyan said a scarf "with fascist symbols" was found at
the crime scene.
The teenager’s death brings to at least 14 race-related deaths,
of which 6 were Armenian.
