ARMENIAN CHURCH DEFACED WITH GRAFFITI ON ARMENIANS AND JEWS. For the
second time within a year, an Armenian church in Lviv, Ukraine was
daubed with anti-Armenian and antisemitic slogans, according to an April
26 report by the Jewish.ru news web site. The graffiti, stating that
“Armenians are the second Kikes — get out of Lviv,” was accompanied by
a swastika. A similar incident in September 2004 remains unsolved by
local police.
