ArmInfo.The Russian Embassy in Armenia reacted to the incorrect statement of Russian experts on the internal political situation in Armenia.
Union of Armenians of Russia also reacted. "Deeply outraged by the shameless and cynical remarks made against Armenia and Armenians on the air of Radio Komsomolskaya Pravda on April 26, 2018. In the air of GlavTema with the participation of Mikhail Leontyev, Ilya Saveliev and Mikhail Yuryev, its participants allowed themselves in the most cynical form an insult to a whole people. They, having crossed all limits of journalistic and human ethics, as well as legal and civil responsibility for their actions, made a number of irresponsible and degrading statements about our people, using obscene language, which by definition should not be on air, especially such a well-known radio station as . It is obvious that at such a crucial moment when not only the millions of Armenians living in Russia but the whole world is observing Armenia, whose people have demonstrated their adherence to the principles of peace and democracy, such irresponsible and extremist shows in the Russian media, often perceived by the broad masses as the official position of the Russian state, can inflict huge damage on Russian-Armenian relations, create an atmosphere of hostility and distrust," the statement reads.
At the same time, it is stressed that the Union of Armenians of Russia, as the largest all-Russian public organization representing and uniting the Armenian Diaspora in Russia, will seek due assessment of the actions of the persons involved in the aforementioned show, in terms of the conformity of these actions to Russian legislation with regard to combating extremism, calls for violence and inciting ethnic hatred.
"The corresponding appeals on behalf of the UAR to the President of the Russian Federation, the general director of Komsomolskaya Pravda and to the prosecutor's office are already directed, and we are counting on due understanding on their part," the statement reads.
