Two 15-year-old Armenians were injured in the Dec. 11 clashes in
Manege Square of Moscow.
Classmates Gagik and Ruben were celebrating Gagik's birthday in one
of the cafes with their Azerbaijani, Russian and Georgian friends. As
soon as they went out, teens were attacked by a crowd. They had to
hide under an ambulance car and were saved by policemen. When Russian
friends tried to help, crowd attacked them as well, RFE/RL reported.
Armenian young people do not want to disclose their names. Both
are at home, while Gagik has to spend at home several weeks. Their
Azerbaijani friend was stabbed.
The Russian sources say the clashes may reoccur on December 15. There
are reports saying Caucasians plan to organize a protest action in
the Russian capital.
Rumors say radicals from the North Caucasian republics are heading to
Moscow, though community organizations call on them not to participate
in the meetings.
On December 11, 40 people fell victim to racist attacks. Nationalists
attacked ethnic Caucasians and Asians on December 12 and 13.
