BAKU, SEPTEMBER 10. ARMINFO-TURAN. Four cafes belonging to the
Armenians and Azerbaijanis were destroyed in Ekaterinburg and in its
suburb Verkhnaya Pishma on September 9 at night. One man is killed,
the Moscow newspaper “Commersant” reports. An action was brought on
the Article “Hooliganism” on the facts. The owners of the destroyed
objects believe that the attacks express their intolerance to the
origins from Caucasus.
The first attack was made at 1:50 on cafe “Oasis plus”, 20 people
run into the cafe with sticks and lashes. For several minutes they
beat the people and broke furniture and then hid away. As a result
four Armenians were injured and two of them were hospitalized with
trauma in their brains.
In an hour the case “Caspian” in the Proyezaya street was attacked. The
attackers destroyed all they could and then threw bottles with burning
substances into the cafe. The cafe burnt out. As a result of fire the
relative of the owner of cafe 52 years old Safarov died. Half an hour
later the bandits threw several bottles with burning substances into
the snack- bar “Shartash”.
The same day the attackers threw several bottles with burning
substance into the window of the accounting office of the restaurant
“David’s”. The eye-witnesses tell that the bandits were in masks. The
militia detained 8 people. The owners of the destroyed cafes suppose
that the attacks on their objects is a result of the intolerance
to people coming Caucasus after the latest acts of terrorism in the
planes, in Moscow and in Beslan.
However, militia states that the attackers are the “criminal
clarifications”. It is not the first case of attack on the origins
from Caucasus over the last days. Thus, at night on September 6
two strangers shoot from sub-machine gun the visitors of the cafe
“Snezinka” . Then four people died and five were wounded. Among the
suffered are the people from Azerbaijan and Daghestan.
Two days ago in Moscow two militiamen beat the former secretary of
the security Council of Daghestan Magomed Tolboyev.–
