The Armenian organizations of Russia are concerned over the worsening relations between the Armenians and the Cossacks in Ural.

This is the case specifically in Artyomovka city, where a great number of Armenians live. According to Versia.ru, the Cossacks declared January 31 as “Day of Fury.” Mass demonstrations are expected on that day, and the Cossacks promised to once and for all “clear out” the native soil “from the invaders,” whereas the Armenians are preparing to call for their compatriots from other regions.       

And according to the information which Armenian News-NEWS.am ascertained, the Azerbaijanis play a crucial role in the worsening of relations between the Armenians and the Cossacks. The local Armenians are actively engaged  in the construction and restaurant business, and also in trade, which causes the Azerbaijanis’ rage, and therefore they provoke the Cossacks in every way.  

The Union of Armenians of Russia will convene a session Wednesday devoted to this matter.
