    RECENT MURDERS BY NO MEANS AGAINST ARMENIANS, RA AMBASSADOR TO RF STATES

    Arka News Agency, Armenia
    June 22 2006

    Yerevan, June 22. /ARKA/. The recent murders are by no means aimed
    particularly against Armenians, RA Ambassador to Russia Armen Smbatyan
    stated at his meeting with Armenian students in Moscow.

    Smbatyan stressed that, first of all, these problems do not meet
    Russia's interests and run counter to its policy toward Armenia and
    Armenians residing in Russia.

    The students expressed their concern over the recent accidents
    involving Armenians, which have been presented as intolerance toward
    Armenians by some media outlets. These processes arouse public
    concerned both in Russia and in Armenia, which may be used by third
    forces interested in weakening Armenian-Russian relations and may
    affect bilateral cooperation.

    During the meeting, the students were informed of the measures taken
    by the RA Embassy as well as of the Russian authorities' measures to
    disclose recent murders. The meeting participants pointed out that
    Armenia's authorities condemn the crimes as well.

    The students also raised the issues that are in the center of their
    attention, namely, the institution of dual citizenship in Armenia,
    migration problems, as well as increase in quotas for Armenian citizens
    in Russia's higher schools. P.T. -0--
