Toulouse: the window of the Armenian-Russian restaurant Troika Royale smeared with excrement
This restaurant specializing in Russian and Armenian cuisine has been vandalized. Part of his shop window was covered in excrement.
Thursday, March 24, the window of the Armenian-Russian restaurant Royal Troika was smeared with excrement. Armine, one of the waitresses remains in shock: “the manager cried. She doesn’t understand why some people equate us with Putin. We in Armenia know war all too well. I have lost friends. We want peace for everyone. »
The restaurant is also setting up a project with a Ukrainian chef to show that gastronomy can bring people together and that the Royal Troika does not venture into the political field. But the damage is already done. The establishment saw its business collapse almost overnight after Russia invaded Ukraine. “Before the first confinement, we were starting to find our cruising speed between selling baked goods and meals served for lunch and dinner. And then boom, everything collapsed. It’s been barely a few months that we come out of the water head and the war in Ukraine occurs. We went from 40 seats on certain evenings to zero. It’s a disaster,” sighs Armine.
