MOSCOW. - The reason behind conflict between Azerbaijanis and Armenians in Dzerzhinsk city of Russian Nizhny Novgorod Region was related to money, said Criminal Chronics on Friday.

Armenians accused Azerbaijanis of selling an overpriced Kamaz truck. Natives of Armenia came to Old Baku café to express their dissatisfaction about the Kamaz truck, which they purchased at an overrated price.

The talks ended with shooting, where two young men lost their hands.

Vice-president of the Union of Armenians of Russia Herman Ananikyants also denied the conflict’s motive being national hatred.

“The clash in Dzerzhinsk had nothing to do with national hatred. The only reason is commerce: the sides did not agree upon prices of vehicle parts,” Ananikyants said.

According to him, after the incident the leadership of the two communities discussed the situation and agreed to maintain the peaceful coexistence.
