If you are an Armenian living in Russia, especially in Moscow, paradoxically, people may think that you are a Chechen or an Azeri, and you may even be killed because of that reason.

But it's okay if the people being killed are Chechens or Azeris? How did you feel during and after the Beslan hostage crisis?

Yeah, we all know about the Slavic scamps in Moscow (and elsewhere), whose most recent hobby has been attacking immigrants from the Caucasus. Why don't these troublemakers enroll at the state university instead of causing harm to others?

Aren’t Chechens more easily distinguishable if they are the targets? (However it does not justify anything)

Does the average Russian care about Armenians being killed?

I have met Russians and I’ve never had the impression that they dislike us. I met two of them last month (in a rug store), we were having a conversation and as soon as I said I was Armenian, he just started: what nice friends we have in this shytty region, you Armenians are my sisters and brothers and I was like

Well, I have also been mistaken as a Persian but I have a white tan and black hair… So you can find both among them.

I was aware of that. What's a Russian anyway? Now the Cossacks from Kuban are considered to be Russians as well.
