“The main purpose is to get rid of the thing that motivates the extremists,” said Russian President Vladimir Putin during a meeting with Russian political parties. “We have to show the public that Russia cares about its citizens and that the government is competent to organize the flow of immigrants in a civilized manner and protect the work force,” said the Russian President. According to analysts, recently there is a rise in extremism and chauvinism in Russia. Murders of foreigners, especially Armenians, can be seen often and this has turned into a matter of concern for the Armenian community of Russia.
