10 NGOs together with about 50 citizens organized a rally of protest
opposite the Russian Embassy with posters saying "STOP". They condemned
the activities of the racist groupings in Russia, in particular the
skinheads and demanded the RF authorities to resort to strict measures
to arrest and punish the murderers.
"What is taking place in Russia against Armenian is intolerable. The
Russian authorities do not carry out the necessary investigations
in order to punish the organizers of the murders. We think that the
idleness of the Russian authorities is a way of encouraging," Arsen
Kharatyan, member of the initiative group "For the Development of
Science" complains.
Head of the Armenian Helsinki Committee Avetiq Ishkhanyan who joint
the rally said, "I am sure that if the Armenian authorities had
a stricter attitude towards the events, there wouldn't be such a
continuation. If they sent a serious note to the Russian authorities
after the desecration of the Armenian cemetery in Krasnodar, I think
something would be done in that direction".
The participants of the rally handed their statement to the Russian
Ambassador after which headed for the RA Foreign Ministry saying that
their complaint is not only against the Russian authorities.
"One of the aims of the action is to invite the attention of the
Armenian authorities to the matter.
We must send lawyers from Armenia to Russia to follow the trial,
as it was done in Hungary", Avetiq Ishkhanyan thinks.
