YEREVAN, 9 FEBRUARY, ARMENPRESS. In an interview with "РоÑ~AÑ~AиÑ~O
24", Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian
Federation to Armenia Ivan Volinkin declared that Armenia and Russia
share the pain of the tragedy that took place in Gyumri on 12 January
and that there is no justification for such barbarity and it doesn't
recognize any state or nationality. As "Armenpress" reports, citing
Interfax, Volinkin mentioned that he had trouble finding the words
to describe what happened.
"The employees of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Armenia
were shocked when they found out what had happened. It became a pain
and tragedy for both the Armenians and the Russians. I understand and
accept the society's sentimentality towards the incident. I would like
to express once again my condolences to the relatives of the victims,
the citizens of Gyumri and the entire Armenian nation," the Ambassador
said. He stressed the fact that the corresponding Armenian and Russian
authorities are jointly carrying out the investigation into the case.
"The investigation has to be objective and comprehensive. I'm certain
that the criminal will be punished by the law. There have been
difficult times in the centuries-old history of the Armenian-Russian
friendship, but we have always managed to overcome the difficulties
through combined efforts and by supporting each other. I believe that
will be the case this time as well," Ivan Volinkin underscored.
