    RUSSIA TO DO ITS UTMOST TO INVESTIGATE CRIMES AGAINST ARMENIANS
    by Tigran Liloyan

    ITAR-TASS News Agency, Russia
    June 16, 2006 Friday

    The Russian authorities will do their utmost to investigate and prevent
    all manifestations of violence and murders of Armenians in Russia,
    visiting Russian presidential envoy in the Southern Federal District,
    Dmitry Kozak, said at a meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Andranik
    Margarian.

    He pointed out, though, that such incidents involving Armenians were
    not ethnically motivated ones.

    Russia, including the Southern Federal District, is a favorable
    environment for the Armenian Diaspora. Its representatives actively
    participate in the country's politics and economy.

    Margarian expressed the confidence that the Russian authorities and the
    heads of regional legislatures would take serious steps to find those
    guilty, bring them to justice and prevent such crimes in the future.

    Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian pointed out that attacks
    on the Armenian citizens in Russia "are seen in Armenia as casual."

    "Armenia is ready to pool efforts with Russia to prevent such incidents
    in the future," he said.
