Intensification of nationalists’ activity in Russia is connected with
ideological vacuum that appeared after the collapse of the USSR, a
feeling of being aggrieved by the most numerous ethnic groups, Russian
President Vladimir Putin said at his annual news conference in Moscow
today. According to him, governmental agencies do not always
adequately react to such manifestations. Putin cited as one of the
reasons is open borders between the Russian Federation and former USSR
republics, while labor issues are not always solved to the benefit of
Russian citizens. The government should secure interests of foreigners
and Russians as well, the president said. Unsettled nature of those
issues hurts everyone and results in xenophobia and nationalism,
reprts Regnum.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
