Yerevan /Mediamax/. Chairman of the Committee on Public and Religious
Organizations of Russian State Duma Yaroslav Nilov sent a message to
the Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin the Second asking to publicly
urge Ukrainian authorities to cease the violence and bloodshed.
"According to the MP, the call may cause action as the blood of the
Ukrainian people is also shed because of the interim Minister of
Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov who has Armenian roots", RIA Novosti
reports.
Yaroslav Nilov notes that "the whole world remembers the Armenian
Genocide which happened 100 years ago and the long-suffering Armenian
people hasn't fully overcome all the outcomes of this tragedy". The
Russian MP writes that "the humanity didn't learn a lesson from the
past and now we evidence the humanitarian catastrophe taking place
in Ukraine". According to Nilov, what is going on there can in fact
be called "genocide".
A similar letter was also sent to President of World Armenian Congress
and Union of Armenians of Russia Ara Abrahamyan, Nilov said.
