/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `There was no xenophobia in Armenia and will not
be', Rimma Varzhapetian, the chairperson of the Jewish community of
Armenia stated. However, in her opinion, there are some forces in the
republic for which xenophobia is a way of manifesting themselves. In
her words there are only 5 or 6 persons in Armenia, who are trying to
create an image on the wave of anti-Semitism. However, according to
her, if they are anyhow supported by mass media the consequences can
be rather tragic, Rimma Varzhapetian noted. She also said the Jews of
Armenia do not face any manifestations of anti-Semitism. In his turn
Rabbi Burstein stated that the Jewish community did not send any
document to the US State Department recording of anti-Semitism
allegedly available in the republic. The round table participants
consider that the Americans picked out the information from some mass
media reports in Armenia.
