PanARMENIAN.Net - The recent developments in Moscow caused a wave of
indignation throughout Russia, with some bloggers and internet users
offering their way to resolve the "Caucasian issue".
Besides calls to clean markets from Caucasians, some bloggers suggested
that all diplomatic workers of Caucasian origin should be expelled and
published the 'blacklist' of Foreign Ministry diplomats, namely: Kirill
Gevorgyan, the director of legal department; Alexander Darchiyev, the
director of North America department; Eduard Malayan, ambassador at
large; Teymuraz Ramishvili, ambassador to Denmark; Andrey Avetisyan,
the ambassador to Afghanistan; Levan Chagharyan, ambassador to Iran;
Zurab Peradze; consul general to Cuba and many others.
Moscow police were instructed to detain Caucasus nationals carrying
knives or guns, following the riots that targeted a vegetable warehouse
in the city's south over the weekend.
Hundreds of people were detained in response to the violence that
erupted after protests over the fatal stabbing of a 25-year-old man.
The killer, who police identified as being from the former Soviet
republic of Azerbaijan, has been already arrested.
Police said around 70 people are facing minor administrative charges
over the clashes.
