ARMENIAN COMMUNIST PARTY LEADERS TO LEAVE FOR KRASNODAR TERRITORY TO ACQUAINT WITH SITUATION DUE TO LOCAL ULTRA'S ANTI-ARMENIAN APPEARANCES
The delegation of the Communist party of Armenia will leave for the Krasnodar territory early in May. As reported by party leader Vladimir Darbinian, the tour aims at familiarizing at the scene with the situation in the territory due to the campaign held by the local leadership to deport migrants. As it is known, the territory governor's policy resulted in anti-Armenian appearances of ultra-nationalist groupings. Let us remind that the Krasnodar territory governor Aleksandr Tkachov is member of the Communist party of Russia. Vladimir Darbinian reported that the leaders of the Communist party of Armenia have appealed to the Communist party of the Russian Federation to organize meetings with the territory leadership. Darbinian expressed hope that the Armenian communists' visit to Krasnodar would let mitigate the tension appeared in relations between the local leadership and the Armenian community.
