PanARMENIAN.Net - Assimilation is the biggest problem Russian Armenians
currently face, head of Russia-based Russian-Armenian Cooperation
NGO said.
Varvara Margaryan attributed the problem to Armenian community's
reluctance to learn mother tongue, rather than the policy country's
authorities pursue.
"The number of Armenian population residing in Russia's Krasnodar
Krai totals 250 thous. according to the census, with unofficial data
putting the figure at 1 mln," Ms. Margaryan said.
Dwelling on the ethnic conflicts in Russia, she noted they are
initiated and financed by external forces, which aim to weaken the
country.
