First Deputy Chairman of the Committee of the Federation Council on International Affairs Vladimir Dzhbarov proposed to consider the possibility of banning the entry into Russia of the governor of the Chirak region of Armenia, David Arushanyan, after his statement about the "Ivans". The senator supported the response of the Russian Embassy in Armenia, which compared Arushanyan's wording with the vocabulary of the German Nazis during the Great Patriotic War. According to Dzhbarov, the Ivans saved Armenia from genocide and the world from Nazism, and the governor should have expressed gratitude instead of making such statements.
