    NO XENOPHOBIA IN RUSSIAN-ARMENIAN RELATIONS - MEDVEDEV

    ITAR-TASS, Russia
    Dec 2 2006

    ST. PETERSBURG, December 2 (Itar-Tass) - There can be Xenophobia
    in Russian-Armenian relations, First Vice-Prime Minister Dmitry
    Medvedev said.

    Speaking at a closing ceremony devoted to Year of Armenia in Russia on
    Saturday, Medvedev said, "Russia and Armenia have always understood
    each other and preserved a centuries-long experience of tolerant
    relations."

    He noted that in recent years Russia faced Xenophobia. In his
    words, "such ideas cannot be supported by the state where over 100
    nationalities live. Over centuries we lived in one state. It is not
    only a geopolitical moment - we have a common history, joint labour,
    and common tests and achievements."

    "The fates of Russia and Armenia are closely inter-related," Medvedev
    stressed.

    At the end of his speech Medvedev spoke the Armenian language that
    was welcomed by hot applauses.
