NEITHER RUSSIA’S AUTHORITIES NOR OPPOSITION INTERESTED IN KILLING BORIS NEMTSOV – ARMENIAN EXPERT
YEREVAN, March 5. /ARKA/. Neither Russia’s authorities nor the
opposition were interested in killing Boris Nemtsov, Alexander
Markarov, a political analyst and the director of CIS Countries
Institute’s Armenian branch, said Thursday at a news conference.
He said Nemtsov creates no trouble for the authorities, even with
the report he was preparing about Russia’s involvement in Ukrainian
conflict.
Markarov was quoted by Novosti-Armenia.
Another version, according to which protests triggered by this killing
might add strength to the opposition march scheduled for March 1,
is groundless as well, since the opposition couldn’t use this killing
as a political banner because of little influence.
Russian politician Boris Nemtsov, who formerly held some high positions
in Russia’s government and later shifted to the opposition, was shot
dead Friday night in Moscow. —0—–
