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--
