"The Armenian Foreign Ministry should expressed concern over the killings of Armenians in Russia and urge an official explanation from the Russian Ambassador to Armenia," says the statement adopted in Yerevan by the representatives of creative unions and intelligentsia of Armenia.

The creative intelligentsia also urges the RA MFA to call the Armenian Ambassador to Russia to Yerevan for conduction of essential consultations. "He should be reminded that the diplomatic representatives are called to provide security for their citizens… The Armenian intelligentsia is concerned over the increase of assaults and murders of ethnic Armenians," the statement says.

"It's characteristic that such incidents take place during the year of Armenia of Russia, which actually is the year of "hunting" of Armenians. The Russian law enforcers should find out whether these crimes are a part of deliberate campaign that aims to stir up hatred between the peoples and states," the document says, reported Novosti-Armenia.

It should be also noted that the statement by the Armenian intelligentsia will be conveyed to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
