MOSCOW, April 23 (Itar-Tass) — The Union of Russian Armenians is
indignant at the murder of Vigen Abramian, 17-year-old freshman of
the Moscow Management Institute, at the Pushkinskaya metro station in
downtown Moscow.

The young man was killed in a Saturday brawl. Eyewitnesses said that
a skinhead wearing high boots lethally stabbed Abramian.

“We, the same as all citizens of the Russian Federation, are alarmed
and concerned about the unpunished series of ethnic hatred violence
in Russian cities of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Voronezh and others,”
says a statement signed up by President of the Union of Russian
Armenians and the World Armenian Congress Ara Abramian received by
Itar-Tass.

The right to live is the main human right, the statement said. “We
strongly urge law enforcement agencies to find and put to justice the
murderers of Vigen Abramian,” he said.

“The attack by skinheads is obviously a provocative act and an
attempt to cast a shadow on the image of our fatherland. The outbreak
of actions by fascist elements must be stopped,” the statement runs.
