    The Armenian side will continue discussion with RF representatives on
    the issues of investigating the recent cases of attacking the Armenian
    residents of Moscow and punishing the guilty. Vartan Oskanian, RA
    Foreign Minister, said at today's press conference. He stated that
    this issue is still in the agenda of the meetings held by the Armenian
    and Russian representatives at various levels. "The Russian side is
    also concerned about the facts of attacking the foreign citizens in
    Moscow," he said. He added that xenophobia is of total character in
    Russia. "The Russian authorities should take drastic measures to
    avert xenophobia cases, otherwise that may become a threat to the
    publicity of very Russia, Vartan Oskanian said.

    It's worth mentioning that on July 2 evening, a group of teens attacked
    two Armenians in a undergound train.

    Both the Armenians, Vacheh Tovmasyan (20) and Varazdat Hakobyan (23)
    got knife wounds. At the underground station "Kuznetsky Most" they
    applied for first aid and were hospitalized. The attackers escaped. The
    injured say they were attacked by aggressive young people in black
    and armed with knives as soon as they came out of the train.
