An Armenian man in Moscow has been the subject of further ethnic-based violence after a group of Azeris attack him at gunpoint. The Azeri attempts to force the Armenians to say “Karabakh belongs to Azerbaijan.” However, the Armenian despite being held at gunpoint replies, “Karabakh does not belong to you.”

This comes a day after ethnic Azeris targeted Armenian nationals in Russia due to their ethnicity and their origins and beat them. These actions and ethnic discrimination have no place in society, they only continue to sow interethnic strife and undermine the multinational foundations of the Russian Federation.
