/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The issues of fascism and xenophobia are, of course,
more acute in Russia, than in other CE member countries, said Head of
the International Committee of the Russian State Duma Constantine
Kosachev. In his words, it is necessary to pay attention to
conclusions of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance
(ECRI) and «challenge it in no circumstances.» «It is hard to deny
that xenophobia, extremism and nationalism problems are urgent for
Russia. Solving nationalism and xenophobia problems is in our interest
first of all,» said Kosachev.
In his turn, Secretary General of the Union of Journalists of Russia
Igor Yakovekno supposes that European Commission calls should be
addressed to the executive and law-enforcement bodies first of all. In
his opinion, they are just those, who «do not implement laws or
implement them selectively.» Specifically, he noted «that in Russia
even a person, who committed murder on racial ground, is judged for
hooliganism, while for posting up transparencies one gets three
years,» BBC Russian Service writes.
