National Great Power Party holds rally in Moscow

MOSCOW. Jan 26 (Interfax) - Representatives of Russia's National Great Power Party held a rally in Moscow on Sunday to defend the party from "unfounded attacks." The rally was held in front of the building of the World Congress of Russian-Speaking Jews.

   "Recently, the chief rabbis of the U.S., Israel and Russia sent a letter of protest to the Russian president, demanding that our party be disbanded. We don't understand why such calls are coming from abroad, and wish to express our protest against unfounded attacks," party spokesman Igor Tomilov told Interfax.

   "Our country must be governed by Russian citizens who will live and bring up their children in this country. We don't want anyone to dictate any terms to us from abroad," he said.

   The rally brought together 55 demonstrators, who held posters reading "Attacks Against the National-Great Power Party are a Strike Against the Russian People!", and "No to International Zionism's Interference in Russian Affairs!"
