YEREVAN. – Both the matter concerning Hrachya Harutyunyan and the incident involving Armenians in a Russian market are artificially blown out of proportion.   

Armenian National Assembly former MP Aghasi Arshakyan noted the aforesaid during a press conference on Tuesday, and he suggested not exploiting these matters.  

In Arshakyan’s words, around thirty Armenians and seventy Russians die in Russia every day. He added that the Armenians that die in Russia are those that have gone there from Armenia.    

In his view, however, these incidents should not be looked at with a magnifying glass. 

Reflecting on the incident involving Hrachya Harutyunyan, he noted that all patients wear the same robe in the hospitals there.     

“Let us seek our misfortune amongst ourselves, not [amongst] others,” Aghasi Arshakyan added.
