YEREVAN, APRIL 26, ARMENPRESS. During the Live discussion on CNN
prominent American-Armenian attorney Mark Geragos strictly condemned
the international broadcaster and other media for continuous coverage
of rumors regarding a Muslim-convert Armenian, who directed the
Tsarnaev brothers in the way of radical Islam. As reports "Armenpress"
the Armenian National Committee of America and a number of Armenians
all over the world expressed their gratitude and support to the ethnic
Armenian attorney for his actual remarks.
Among other things Mark Geragos noted: "As an Armenian I do want to
comment on all the speculations about a convert named Misha, which is
by the way is not an Armenian name. It is insulting for the Armenians
everywhere, for it is the first Christian nation. So instead of
listening to an uncle, who has not seen the guys for three years, I
think we should be a little bit more critical to some of the
information, which is being passed around as Gospel."
Also Mark Geragos underlined that it is insulting the Armenians
everywhere, saying that there is an Armenian convert to Muslim, and
reminded that this week the Armenians celebrated the 98th anniversary
of the Armenian Genocide, when 1.5 million Christian Armenians were
whipped out by Muslim Ottoman Turks. Summing up Mark Geragos
emphasized: "I think that this uncle is under the influence of
something."
