Armenian Internet Community Rallies Against Famous Russian Singer

Famous Russian folk singer Irina Allegrova is planning to have a concert in the Russian city of Voronezh on April 24 which has stirred up a wave of discontent among the Armenian community in Russia. The Russian-Armenians have expressed their disapproval online on holding a concert on that day of all days.

Particularly, Armenian internet groups have called on each other to make efforts so that the concert fails. These groups remind their readers that Irina Allegrova has Armenian roots, and that April 24 is the commemoration day of the Armenian Genocide.

The initiators of this campaign call on all those who are against this concert to visit Irina Allegrova’s website at www.irinaallegrova.ru (in Russian only) and send her a message through the form available on her website.
