While Molokans can be quite separate (out of choice) from the rest of Armenia in the villages at least, I think they are quite accepted selling sauerkraut at markets or doing remonds etc in Yerevan. In fact, they have a good and honest reputation. It's interesting for me how they fit in with a mainly Moslem society like Azerbaijan.

I have Molokan friend in the United States, whos family had to flee away from the Azerbaijan during the collapse of the Soviet Union. So people, don't trust the media. That article is untrue.
