"Murders of Armenians in Russia are not expressions of racism, but
crimes committed on the social basis," the Ambassador Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary of Russia to Armenia Nikolay Pavlov said during
today’s press conference.
According to him, the question becomes a topic of discussion during
all Armenian-Russian meetings.
According to Pavlov, leaderships of Prosecutor General’s Office of
Russia and the Ministry of Interior Affairs are doing everything
possible to disclose the crimes and punish the criminals.
In his words, these phenomena are the grief of the Russian people,
and Armenians take these very sharply. "There is no "Armenophobia"
in Russia. The last two murders have already been disclosed. It
is necessary to differentiate between criminal reprisals and other
phenomena," said the Ambassador, calling on the journalists to refrain
from sensitive expressions in their publications.
