Another Armenian Killed In Moscow
Following a string of deadly attacks on Armenians, another was added to the list last night when an Armenian citizen living in Moscow, was shot in a south district last night. Another Armenian who was with him was also injured, as a result of gunfire.
This is really worrying, it comes around a week after another Armenian was stabbed in Russia , and previously a number of stabbings in the last 3 months give definite cause for concern - including an Armenian being mutilated on a passenger train. I think it has gone past the point where the authorities can say the attacks are not race related, it is time for them to face up and begin tackling an increasing problem.
I would tend to connect Russia’s recent aggressiveness with falling influence of this country near its borders. The natural stratum around the Russia is not just an ambition of its politics, but a natural formation around the mass, normal for a state like Russia.
It may sound absurd but Georgia’s recent bravery resulted not only in wine and bubble water wars but also in killings of Armenians in Russia.
Wounded bear is worse than a strong one. We have no other option other than to live with Russia, and the stronger it is - the better. (may be learn from Finland’s example on this?)
However, no analysis is needed for the following: There is no better place for Armenians other than Armenia
