This Hooligan Act is Condemnable, Sharmazanov
The spokesperson of the Republican Party of Armenia, Eduard Sharmazanov, wrote on his Facebook page: “A member of the Duma from the Armavir region of the Russian Federation (I intentionally do not mention the name) has painted over the memorial stone of Garegin Nzhdeh located in the churchyard. This vandalistic act is the result of an anti-Nzhdeh paranoid propaganda that is currently being carried out by certain circles of our allied and fraternal state. This hooligan act is condemnable, and I believe it should be primarily condemned by the Russian authorities. Any attempt to present Nzhdeh as anti-Russian and an advocate of Nazism is unacceptable and will receive the response it deserves.
Note: “The ally of the Armenian race is the great Russian people.” - Garegin Nzhdeh
PS: Stay away from Nzhdeh. Nzhdeh is a hero for our nation, just as Suvorov is for the Russians.”
