Chechen Envoy Gets Sympathetic Reception At European Parliament Pro-independence Chechens had a rare opportunity today to rally support for their cause in the European Union. Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) representing countries surrounding the Baltic Sea received Akhayat Idogov in Strasbourg. Idogov is the head of the foreign relations committee of what the European Union considers to be the last freely elected Chechen parliament. Idogov said he was received sympathetically in Strasbourg.
