ARMENIAN AMBASSADOR IN MOSCOW ASKS RUSSIAN OFFICIALS TO REACT TO MANIFESTATIONS OF FASCISM

MOSCOW, APRIL 27, ARMENPRESS; Armenia's ambassador to Russia, Armen
Smbatian, has officially asked Russian foreign and interior ministers
and Moscow mayor 'to take decisive action to prevent manifestation
of fascism."
The unusual wording was prompted by last weekend killing of an ethnic
Armenian teenager in Moscow, Vigen Abramyants, a Russian citizen. The
boy was stabbed to death by a group of Russian skinheads.
Moscow prosecutors have extended the pre-trial detention of a Russian
boy suspected of killing Abramyants, for 72 hours yesterday.
The murder of the Armenian boy and a subsequent attack on an Armenian
film director who was visiting Moscow have triggered a tough reaction
of Armenian media which accuse Russian law-enforcers of conniving at
hate crime.
