    MOSCOW. - The Armenian Embassy in Russia follows the developments
    in Sochi and with the help of the local Armenian community does
    everything so that the situation will not get worse, the spokesperson
    of the Armenian Embassy in Russia Eduard Jambazyan told Armenian
    News-NEWS.am adding that not only Armenians but also Dagestanis were
    arrested thus denying the information released by the media that only
    Armenians were arrested.

    "The situation is calming down," he said.

    As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, a major fight had broken
    out in Sochi on May 1 in which around 100 people were involved. As
    a result, one of those participants, Sochi's well-known athlete,
    master of Taekwondo, Yury Garanyan, 24, died of a stab wound.

    On the night of May 26-27 the police arrested around 250 people who
    wanted to start a fight with the construction workers of the Olympic
    village in Sochi. It started when the girls from Chereshnya village,
    Adler, Russia, went out for a walk in the evening and were offended by
    the construction workers from Dagestan, who were very "sticky." The
    girls complained to their brothers and boyfriends. As a result,
    the Armenian youth formed a group to protect the honor of their
    girlfriends and decided to give the construction workers a lesson.

    They headed toward the Olympic village, but the construction workers
    immediately called the police, who arrested 250 people.
