Alexander Iskandaryan: “explanations” of Heydar Cemal that riots in Moscow were provoked by Armenians are fruit of sick imagination

PanARMENIAN.Net - Director of Caucasus Institute, political analyst Alexander Iskandaryan said that the explanations of Chairman of the Islamic Committee of Russia Heydar Cemal that riots in Moscow were provoked by Spartak fans of Armenian origin are rather exotic.

“The opportunities of Spartak fans of Armenian origin to gather 10,000 people and organize mass riots are exaggerated,” Iskandaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

He added that similar ideas are a fruit of a sick imagination.

In an interview to Svobodnaya pressa (Free Press) portal, Heydar Cemal stated that the entire situation around Manezhnaya Square is a well staged performance of Russian intelligence services. According to him, if there were no the authorities’ will and desire, the killing of Spartak fan would have remained unnoticed by vast masses and, possibly, the crime would not have taken place either. “The group, to which the killed fan had belonged, included Armenians. Possibly, they constituted the most active part, which provoked the conflict,” said Cemal.
