9:07 pm
to that several patty when it talking about freedom of speech they wonder now if they too are in the firing line through doing that and this is raised more questions about what's being done at the moment with that is actually enough to prevent this sort of radicalization that leads to such extreme brutality. crowds of people gathered on saturday to pay tribute and offer their final respects among them students of the victim some of his colleagues held signs proclaiming jase we samual the town's former mayor shared with r.t. his reaction to the gruesome killing. shoot. i'm shocked and angered because this is complete madness a teacher doing their job giving food for thoughts about freedoms and republican values he was beheaded it's horrendous he's a victim of madness i'm even more shocked that this college is one i opened when i
9:08 pm
was the town mayor and it had a good reputation working there was nice and it was located in a neighborhood without any problems of violence it's time for us to take a tough stance on the issue on how people intrude into from well being deemed as refugees and surprisingly given resident cause to 2030 i don't think that this act of terror is a crazy man's deed but a premeditated act at this point we must prosecute for any violation of the republic's laws in particular for the pressure being put on teachers and journalists to keep them silent. paris based political analyst nicola markovitch believes the deadly incident highlights the refugee crisis unfolding in france because too early to see now what type of check was done with these refugees come into france what kind of check this france do how would they do it to see their background or these people coming from what are their beliefs or what are their motivations why are they coming here 'd and do they belong to any specific

the car by a conflict stretches back more than 3 decades although the region is legally part of azerbaijan it's populated mainly by ethnic armenians in an interview with russian media the leaders of both countries outlined their positions. but i would not stop. there is a red line for us and this is the right to self-determination of the people of mcgovern occur and that all times that i mean it was ready for such a compromise but there were john refused to sign agreements because of their bridge on did not want and does not want to accept that right. under no circumstances can the territorial integrity of be violated under no circumstances will as a vision consent to the independence of nagorno karabakh we believe that in the future the armenian and the azubuike johny communities should live peacefully and co-exist on the territory of nagorno-karabakh fighting have flared up recently in
