Re: Are russians racist to Armenians?

Armenian, Russian border guards patrol Armenia's border with Turkey, right? Is it true that most of these "Russian" soldiers are actually ethnic Armenians serving in the RF armed forces? Are they there by choice or does Russia actually put Armenians in these units?

We often forget that a large number of soldiers serving within Russian military units in the Republic of Armenia are ethnic Armenians.

40% of Russian Frontier Guards in Armenia Serve on Contract

The number of Armenians serving in the Russian frontier troops has already exceeded 50%, commander of the Russian border-guard force in Armenia, General Lieutenant Sergey Bondarev said. In his words, 40% of the Russian frontier troops in Armenia are staffed with military serving on contract and the number of Armenian servicemen is growing. “This is a unique fact when citizens of another state serve in our troops,” Bondarev noted. According to a treaty, the expenses are covered equally, reported the Military-Industrial Express.

Russian deputy speaker: “Russia has every reason to recognize Artsakh, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Transdnestr”

“The international situation has given us a positive example – if Albanians receive the right to establish their own independent state in the foreign territory, so ancient Armenian people must perhaps receive the right to restore the territory;” leader of the Russian Liberal Democratic Party, Deputy Speaker of Russian State Duma Vladimir Zhirinovsky is quoted by a REGNUM correspondent as stating in Moscow, speaking at the third Russia’s Armenian Union (RAU) Congress.

“Yes, we pity Serbs, but it is a positive signal for the international community – it is a positive signal for Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh – REGNUM), for Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Transdnestr,” Zhirinovsky continued. According to him, if the international community recognizes Kosovo and Montenegro, Russia will have every reason to recognize analogous territories, especially as it has more rights for that, because these republics were parts of the Russian Empire, and now they pretend to restore their legal personalities. “It may not be denied – it is the international law,” he stated.

As Vladimir Zhirinovsky stressed, addressing to the Russian Armenians Union (RAU) Congress deputies and guests, “the Armenian people have already been suffering for 100 years, and it is necessary to achieve adoption of at least one international organization’s resolution on returning territories to Armenian state by 2015, the 100th anniversary of those awful events.” “It is not enough to recognize the Genocide; the territories should be returned. Those ones, who are living there now, should be returned to Ashgabat and Tashkent — what does one people need two states for? And territories should be returned to Armenia and Kurdistan. Kurds are betrayed people too – they have been expecting for 100 years,” the LDPR leader said. Also, he called the RAU to be more active in the Russian provinces and to cooperate with Russian political and non-governmental organizations in order to explain to young generation of Russians that “Armenians are our brothers; they are Christians, and they have been living side by side with Russians for hundreds of years.” Zhirinovsky called on the RAU to cooperate for realization of other socially vital initiatives.

Don't confuse nazi-Russians with normal Russians. Normal Russians have never had problems with us and like us to this day.

Wrong. Don't confuse nazi-Russians (minority), with Russians, with open-minded Russians (probably minoraty too).

Hey I was born in Uzbekistan and Russians in UZBEKISTAN disliked Armenians. Although it wasn't as bad as the situation is in Russia.

Let me tell you about the three kinds of Russians:

1. Nazi-Russians: A.k.a. Russian skinheads. One of the largest groups is called Format18. Those guys have their people in government. Those are the guys that kill Armenians (as well as other Caucasus and Asian immigrants). Here, I found one of their propagandistic video on YouTube. A guy that is closer to a screen at 4:10 is the leader by the way. At least someone wants people to think that he is a leader....

2. Russians: Simply Russians. Angry, poor people that spend their lives getting drunk and blaming immigrants (like Armenians) for their poorness in their own country.

3. Open-minded Russians. Those are just regular people. I have two Russian buddies. They are a kind of people who don't give a damn what nationality I am.

I know Russians helped us in 1915. I know they helped us in Karabakh (although they jumped from one side to another), but don't get two different things mixed up:
- Russian-Armenian political relationship and
- Russian-Armenian personal relationship

Russia is looking for profit when they do something (just like most countries do). If they had no profit in Armenia do you think they cared about us and helped us?

I am not racist (my two Russian buddies are the prove), but this is my true opinion based on facts.....
