RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT UPPER CHAMBER HEAD STATED HIS INDIGNATION WITH FACTS OF NON-RUSSIAN POPULATION DISCRIMINATION IN KRASNODAR TERRITORY

Chairman of the Council of the Federation of the Federal Assembly of Russia Sergey Mironov, who is in Yerevan on an official call, visited Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University. Addressing the students and professors he stated that the events, which had been taking place in Kuban recently, rose indignity. Discrimination against non-Russian population residing in Krasnodar territory is outrageous and inadmissible, the Russian parliament upper chamber Speaker emphasized. The problem of deportation of the so-called illegal migrants was created out of nowhere, Mironov noted.
