Support A1+!A rally of protest was initiated by the Armenian students of Great Britain in connection with the increase of murders, racism combat and hatred of mankind apparent in the Russian Federation. The site of the rally was the territory opposite the Russian Embassy in Great Britain.
“We, the students of Great Britain, express our deepest regret on these events and on the increase of xenophobia in Russia. We call on the Russian authorities to take drastic measures and to punish the initiators in order to prevent suchlike cases in future,” this is a quotation from the students’ statement which was given to the Russian Embassy of Great Britain. The students also claim that “the outcome of racism and xenophobia in the recent years has been very appalling. About 28 foreigners were murdered in 2005 and more than 402 people were beaten and attacked by the racists. They were mainly from Caucasus and Middle Asia including many Armenians. 6 Armenians were killed in Moscow in 2006 because of their nationality.”
