Police in Krasnokumsky, Russia (Stavropol region) have detained four
people in connection with the vandalization of 40 Armenian gravestones,
according to a May 22, 2007 report by the Russian Jewish web site
Jewish.ru. The accused vandals allegedly painted swastikas on the
gravestones, yet do not face hate crimes charges. Instead they face
charges of "mocking the bodies of the dead and the places of their
burial."

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
