    HOVHANNES HOVHANNISIAN: RUSSIAN NATION'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS ARMENIANS IS RESULT OF ARMENIAN-RUSSIAN RELATIONS

    YEREVAN, MAY 3, NOYAN TAPAN. Separate cases must not be used for
    damaging the Armenian-Russian friendship. Ruben Tovmasian, the First
    Secretary of the Communist Party Central Committee of Armenia made such
    a statement, touching upon at the May 2 meeting taken place at the
    "Hayeli" club, the fact of the murder of the Armenian young man in
    Moscow recently. He mentioned that his party condemns similar cases
    but he considers inadmissible to raise an anti-Russian wave based on
    them and to use them to find a black stain in the Armenian-Russian
    relations. The speaker did not agree that similar actions taking
    place in Russia are a result of the state policy and are led by the
    authorities. At the same time, Tovmasian expressed an accusation in
    the address of the authorities of Armenia who, according to him, has
    not created such conditions in the country that citizens do not have
    to emigrate. According to Hovhannes Hovhannisian, the Chairman of the
    Liberal Progressive party of Armenia, the case of the Armenian young
    man's murder was not the first one, and similar cases will take place
    in future as well. According to him, displays of chauvinism recently
    become friquent are not responded neither by authorities of Russia nor
    by public. "It's a pity, the society accepts those rigours which are
    implemented towards other nations, with secret pleasure," the speaker
    mentioned. According to him, groups of "shaved heads" acting in Russia
    are not accidentally created: they have the authorities' assistance
    and will have some role. According to Hovhannisian, in Russia, which
    gradually becomes from a democratic country an authirtarian one,
    where the authorities are passed under control of the State Security
    Committee, creation of an atmosphere of great-power chauvinism is
    natural. Hovhannisian mentioned that similar actions towards Armenian
    are a result of the Armenian-Russian interstate relations. According
    to him, as much the authorities of Armenia make the Armenian-Russian
    interstate relations vassal ones, as much the Armenian authorities
    and the majority of the political elite prove their devotion to the
    Russian authorities, as worse the Russian nation's attitude towards
    Armenian becomes.
