The ringleader of the puppet gang of apostates, Ramzan Kadyrov, has declared that "the leaders of the Chechen separatists, hiding abroad, are ready to return to the republic and to work for the good of the Chechen people".
Kadyrov referred to his telephone conversation with the former Chechen Foreign Minister Akhmed Zakayev, who told him that "he welcomes the Russian Federation's policy in Chechnya, but can't say it openly, as he has been on the run for 10 years", the BBC reports.
BBC points out thereupon that in February in an interview to this radio, Zakayev stated that he is waiting for Moscow to start negotiations of "the political settlement of the conflict".
"I have never discussed with Kadyrov any promises from my side or conditions for my return", Zakayev said at that time.
In his interview to Kasparov.ru, Zakayev has confirmed the fact of the negotiations with Kadyrov, and by praising him said that Kadyrov "can not be called a traitor because he followed in the footsteps of his father" and urged Russia "to struggle together with the common enemy".
Zakayev especially stressed that he is afraid to return to the Chechen Republic because Kadyrov's guarantees are not sufficient for him. He made it clear that only Moscow could give him the assurances of security.
Meanwhile speaking in front of his entourage on Wednesday, the ringleader of apostates Kadyrov declared that the war in the Chechen Republic will be officially finished by the end of March.
We would like to remind that the Russian special services claim 500 Mujahideen continue to fight in Chechnya. However, according to Kadyrov, "there are 50-70 of them, no more than 100, and they will be finished in a month".
"In essence, we long ago finished the struggle against the terrorists, however, there is an official document on conducting a counterterrorist operation in the republic. I think by the end of March around the 30-31 an official document will be signed ending it," the ringleader of apostates said.
We would like to remind that Kadyrov, since 2006 with periodicity of 2-3 times a year, towards holidays or any anniversary declares that the Mujahideen will be finished soon.
Regarding the number of Mujahideen, it ranges from 13 to 70 men in the mouth of Kadyrov for 3 years already.
Meanwhile, Russian mass media reported that the gang of "Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia" refrains from commenting on Kadyrov's statement that next week "all restrictions imposed on Chechnya will be lifted", the "Interfax" news agency reports with reference to Russian deputy ringleader of "MIA" Arkady Yedelev.
He told to reporters that "this is the first I have heard". The press center of "Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation" also did not make any comments on Kadyrov's statement.
However, the presidential administration of the Russian Federation has confirmed the existence of official plans of "end of the counterterrorist operation in Chechnya", but stated that "it is too early to speak about the date".
Aleksey Malashenko, a specialist on the Caucasus at the Moscow Carnegie Center, believes that the plans to officially end the war (or "counterterrorist operation") in Chechnya may be connected to the economic crisis.
According to him, under the conditions of the economic crisis there can be plans to cut finance charges on the maintenance of grouping of occupation troops in Chechnya. At the same time, the political scientist believes that the local puppet regime would pretend to a part of funds which will be freed.
In their turn, the human rights activists believe the war in Chechnya may be declared officially ended not because Russia has won, but because the violence has now spilled over into neighboring regions.
"With a lowering of the level of armed resistance in the Chechen Republic, the violence has spilled over into neighboring regions. It makes no sense to carry out a counter-terrorist operation on the territory of the Chechen Republic. Its cancellation would be fully justified, Oleg Orlov, the head of the Russian Human Rights Centre "Memorial", told to the agency on the.
He added that more soldiers are being killed and wounded in Ingushetia and Dagestan now than in Chechnya.
At the same time the human rights activist pointed out that "unfortunately, one cannot speak about a victory over terrorism (in Chechnya)".
