Russian Embassy in Yerevan expresses gratitude to Armenia for  co-sponsoring  resolution on combating glorification of Nazism

ArmInfo.  The Russian Embassy in Armenia has expressed gratitude to its Armenian partners for co-sponsoring the traditionally Russian-sponsored draft resolution "Combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism, and  other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of  racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and related intolerance."

The diplomatic mission's statement recalled that the resolution was  adopted at the Third Committee meeting of the 80th session of the UN  General Assembly in New York on November 14. The document was  co-sponsored by forty-four states from all regions of the world , and  114 countries, including  Armenia, voted in favor. "Our Armenian  friends' support for this document is especially valuable in light of  the 80th anniversary of the shared victory over German Nazism in the  Great Patriotic War, serving as another confirmation of the grateful  memory of the heroic sons and daughters of the Armenian people who  gave their lives to save the Motherland and all of humanity from the  'brown plague,'" the Russian Embassy's statement reads.
