THE ATTITUDE TO ARMENIANS HAS BECOME WORSE AS THEY ARE OFTEN RECOGNIZED AS ARABS

PanARMENIAN.Net - According to "Azg" newspaper issued in Yerevan, after terrorist acts in New York and Washington, D.C., an atmosphere of animosity and prejudice in respect to not native citizens of the country, particularly, Afghanis and Arabs has formed. In some states, such as California, the same attitude was to Armenians that are often recognized as Arabs. The matter takes such a turn that Armenian organizations and the church have addressed US's Armenians with a call to be careful in the streets and public places, not to listen to Armenian music and try not to participate in conflict situations.

As it is informed from the Glendale office of Armenian national committee of America, the local police have addressed the leaders of Armenian organizations with a call to begin a propaganda work among countrymen in order to prevent possible excesses. In the information spread by the office of Armenian national committee, Armenians are given a number of recommendations regarding their behavior in the case of infringements on their life and dignity.
