The Russian side regrets that the Armenian authorities did not respond properly to the neo-Nazi march in Yerevan on January 1, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova told a briefing today.
“We saw these footage and were deeply concerned about the marches of a group of fascist youths that took place on January 1 in the center of Yerevan. We are, of course, surprised that the Armenian law enforcement forces did not prevent the gathering [of people] who raised their hands in a Nazi salute on camera in the presence of the media. It is regrettable that there was no proper reaction from the Armenian authorities and human rights structures," Zakharova said.
