Yerevan, December 23. ArmInfo. A 23-year old neo-Nazi has been sentenced to six months in prison for vandalizing an Armenian church, according to a December 20, 2006 report in the local newspaper “Gazeta Dona.”
The defendant, identified in the report only by his last name Mishchenko, has a long criminal record and admitted his membership in a skinhead gang. The court found that on July 31, 2006 he entered the Surb-Khach museum of Armenian culture, which includes an Armenian Apostolic church, and set a fire. He also painted racist graffiti. Within two weeks he was arrested and charged with vandalism. It appears that no hate crime charges were brought against the defendant.
