    ARMENIANS PROTEST ETHIC KILLINGS IN MOSCOW

    Pravda, Russia
    June 5 2006

    Protesters gather outside the Russian Embassy in Yerevan on
    Monday, protesting against attacks on ethnic Armenians in Russia by
    skinheads.The demonstration came just 10 days after a group of apparent
    skinheads stabbed a teenager on a train outside of Moscow the sixth
    such fatal attack on ethnic Armenians in or around Moscow this year.

    Avetik Ishkhanian, head of the Helsinki Committee of Yerevan, said
    protesters were calling on government authorities to condemn the
    Moscow attacks.

    Russia has seen a marked rise in xenophobia and hate crimes in recent
    years, with a series of attacks on dark-skinned migrants, foreigners
    and Jews. Rights groups say authorities do little or nothing to combat
    the crimes, reports the AP.
