BUKINIST BOOKSTORE SUED BY JEWISH COMMUNITY
Support A1+!On Thursday, Gherch Burstain, chair of Jewish Mordekhay Navi community in Armenia, speaking at a seminar on ethnic minorities held in Yerevan, voiced alarm at appearing signes of anti-Jewish sentiments in the republic saying they can become dangerous.
In his opinion one of these sentiments’ reasons is that Armenians are ill-informed about other nations’ history. He said people’s insufficient knowledge in this area stirs up ethnic hatred.
Burstain said in recent days the community launched a legal action against Bukinist bookstore for disseminating anti-Jewish literature that is intended for planting hatred against Jews and damage relations between the two nations.
Head of the Ethnic Minorities Coordination and their Rights Awareness program Stepan Safaryan said the delay in the Ethnic Minorities Law adoption is hobbling solution of these problems.
Stepan Safaryan is convicted that urgent solution of ethnic minorities’ problems is one of the means to obtain the CE confidence toward Armenia.
