The petition demanding the resignation of the head of the Russian
Union of Armenians, Ara Abramyan, will not lead to real changes in
the body, deputy head of the Caucasus Institute Sergey Minasyan says.
The petition was launched previously on Change.org. The authors of
the petition say that under Abramyan the body has never voiced any
concern about the actual problems the Armenian diaspora is facing
in Russia, but has always interfered in Armenia’s internal affairs,
acting in Russia’s interest.
“I don’t think that this petition will have any consequences,”
Minasyan says.
“I can hardly imagine that Abramyan will abandon his post in the
organization, which is sponsored mainly by him,” the expert adds.
