    COMPLEX MEASURES AGAINST XENOPHOBIA MUST BE TAKEN: URA PRESIDENT

    Arka News Agency, Armenia
    June 1 2006

    YEREVAN, May 31. /ARKA/. Complex measures against xenophobia and
    nationalism related crimes must be taken in Russia, President of the
    Union of Russian Armenians (URA) Ara Abramyan reported during a press
    conference in Moscow.

    According to him, the second murder of a Russian citizen of Armenian
    descent has been committed over this month. However, he believes that
    "this is not the problem of the Armenian society, but Russia". "This
    is not the Armenian people's problem. It is our country's problem,
    a common problem, and we can get out of such situation only with
    joint efforts," he said.

    RIA Novosty reports that Abramyan believes that atmosphere of
    dislike toward participants of radical nationalistic groups should
    be established. "They should know that they have no place in the
    society," the URA president said. He also suggested that the problem
    of xenophobia be solved by means of "round tables" participated by
    public figures, police mass media representatives.

    Besides this, according to Abramyan, to combat xenophobia in Russa
    much attention should be paid to upbringing of the youth and a dialogue
    with school and university students.

    Abramyan reported that 390 attacks on people out of nationalism
    related reasons and 30 murders have been committed in Russia in 2005.

    During this year seven Russian citizens of Armenian descent have been
    killed in Russia.
