This restaurant is located on the ground floor of my apartment building at the foot of Nalbandyan Street on Republic Square. There are swastikas painted on the rear of the building as well on a garage door. Each time I walk by these symbols every day I am infuriated. They represent nothing but intolerance, hatred, and pure evil. It makes no sense while Armenians are being brutally beated and killed by neo-Nazis in Russia, young punks are going around painting swastikas around Yerevan. If no one bothers cleaning them in the next few weeks, ie the restaurant owner as well as the garage owner, I may take matters in my own hands. There’s another bozo running around sparaying the words “Street Navy” on the walls of classic buildings like the National History Museum and the Opera House. And if I ever catch these guys in the act I can’t say what I’ll do, but I won’t let it slide like I’m sure others have.

So it is normal to have soviet symbols but swastica is not normal? Stalin killed more people than nazis did, so why dont you complain about sickle and hammer? You are hypocrites!

Two Wrongs do not make a Right even if one wrong is smaller the the bigger wrong!

Have you guys even grew up in Yerevan??? I did, and let me tell you why I put the Swastiska sign on the building………because i was a KID! , and it was a “IN” thing to do. THere’s no racism behind it, there’s no hatred towards black or any of those stupid assumptions. Swastika sign looked good when we were kids, so we would tag it in every building just for the hell of it.
And if you were raised in the projects of Yerevan, then you wouldn’t be asking that question. Same reason people tag Ozzy Osbourne on every building, but most of them dont know who he is.

As someone who grew up in Yerevan I never had idea that it was a cool thing to paint swastica but I full agree that these kids don;t have hatred but find it “in” thing to do, some kind of faschion. That should be stopped before it grows into real, motivated hatred. Why was Indian killed, btw?
