Saturday incident in one of Moscow underground stations resulting in the murder of 17-year-old Vigen Abrahamyants has aroused a wave of protest in the Armenian community. The fact that the murder was committed on the eve of the 91st anniversary of Armenian genocide and immediately after Nazis celebrated Adolph Hitler's birthday, gave a special coloring to the incident. Law enforcing organs keep on insisting that it was just a domestic crime and did not have any nationalistic motives. Is it true or not? Further investigation will show. In any case it is obvious that lately Armenians have been attacked by Russian skinheads more often than other ethnic minorities.
