/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The clashes between Cossacks and Armenians might
have been provoked by a third party not to let the mass actions of
the Armenian Diaspora planned next to the Turkish Consulate General
in Novorossiysk April 24, the Yerkramas newspaper of the Armenians of
Russia reported. Due to the 90-th anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide the Kuban Armenian Diaspora plans numerous events. These
include a rally next to the Turkish Consulate General, opened in
Novorossiysk this year. After the occurrence the Novorossiysk
authorities will most probably refuse authorizing the event,
justifying their decision with taking care of the law and order in
the city. It should be reminded that according to various assessments
from 100 to 200 Cossacks have made pogroms in one of the Novorossiysk
districts on 22 March. Ethnic Armenians were attacked, as well as
cars and commercial buildings owned by them. An incident in a café in
the city on night of March 21-22 caused the conflict. At the time
Cossacks headed by city Cossack Society ataman Vladimir Petrushin
approached a group of young people, composed of Armenians and Greeks,
who were celebrating a birthday. The ataman got serious bodily
injures in the course of the subsequent skirmish. He was operated at
the city hospital N1 and it there at present. Physicians assess his
state as stable.
