HOLDING OF ACTION OF PROTEST ON OCCASION OF MURDER OF ARMENIAN
SCHOOLBOY PROHIBITED IN MOSCOW: A GROUP OF CITIZENS OF ARMENIA SEND
OPEN LETTER TO RUSSIAN PRESIDENT
YEREVAN, JANUARY 26, NOYAN TAPAN. Noyan Tapan agency was provided
the text of open letter of a group of citizens of Republic of
Armenia and member of Union of Writers of St Petersburg, who did not
wish to mention his name, to Russian President Vladimir Putin. In
the letter they express protest on the occasion of prohibition of
Russian authorities to 1.5 dozens of Armenian residents of Moscow to
express their condolences on the occasion of the murder of one more
Armenian schoolboy, Artur Martirosian, by Russian Nazis. "Even the
prohibition was not enough: one of Armenian reporters was detained,"
the letter read, the authors of which express bewilderment that
"actions of "non-democratic" Turkish authorities that permitted to
freely express their will to dozens of thousands of its citizens -
Turks, Kurds, Armenians and Greeks on the occasion of assassination
of editor-in-chief of Agos Armenian newspaper, Hrant Dink, are
incompatible with this fact."
The authors of the letter "are more than sure that regular impudent
murder on ethnic ground will be either justified (analogous
judicial cases in St Petersburg are a bright example of this) or
will be requalified under any criminal article, but only not with
an ethnic tinge: a bright confirmation of this are openly unpunished
speeches of Russian nationalists and Fascists in streets of Russian
towns permitted by the authorities." We do not think that all these
national-chauvinistic disorders serve for Russia's prestige, the
authors of the open letter to the Russian President mention.
