YEREVAN, OCTOBER 29, NOYAN TAPAN. The Russian government encourages
criminal activity of chauvinistic groups, as none of them has been
punished seriously so far. Ruben Hakhverdian, an author of songs,
at the October 29 press conference, expressed such an opinion about
the position of that country's authorities in the issue of Armenians'
murders in RF. According to him, Armen Smbatian, the Ambassador of
Armenia to Russia, has many things to do in this respect. However,
according to R. Hakhverdian, the Ambassador of Armenia, who should
strictly respond to such cases, "feels himself rather Russian than
Armenian there."
In the opinion of Karine Hakobian, the Chairwoman of the Public Reform
NGO, the Ambassador is only the performer of state policy. According
to her, Armenia as a state does not realize its mission yet. "The
mission of the Armenian state should be ensuring of RA citizens'
security both in the territory of Armenia and abroad," she said.
Levon Ananian, the Chairman of the Union of Writers of Armenia,
proposed giving out papers with advice, instructions to RA citizens
leaving for Moscow. "It will help them to be more cautious there,"
he said.
