Teenagers Who Assaulted Armenians "Should Be Flogged", Armenian Honorary Consul Considers
"The teenagers who assaulted two Armenians in Yekatirenburg in late March should be flogged. The incident is settled," Armenian Honorary Consul in the Ural Federation Okrug Artashes Chlingaryan stated. To remind, March 28 three young men assaulted two Armenians. "We all understand that the assault was committed in anger and was not against the Armenian nationality. It's a mere coincidence," Chilingaryan said. According to him, representatives of the Armenian Diaspora will not dispute the decision despite the fact that the police detained the malefactors and found nationalistic literatures in their homes, reported Ekho Moskvi.
