The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, during a retreat in the Galanchozh district of the republic, threatened that he could take away by force from Ingushetia the lands “illegally transferred [первым президентом самопровозглашенной Чеченской Республики Ичкерия Джохаром] Dudaev “. Video performance published on his page in “VKontakte”, translation leads opposition publication “Fortanga”, also on it drew attention of the Baza edition.
Kadyrov’s statement came against the backdrop of reports of repair work in the Ingush settlement of Dattykh, Sunzhensky District, bordering Chechnya. Netizens called what was happening as another provocation of neighbors. In response, Kadyrov recalled his visit to Ingushetia and said that he had asked the provocateurs not to spoil the alliance between the two peoples.
“We left them the territories given by the Dudayevs, since they have a small region and we are brothers. If we took the entire territory, they would not have a republic there. Even if it is a minus for us, we decided that we would do good for them, ”Kadyrov said, adding that if the Ingush side does not calm down, he will take everything away.
“Aushev (Ruslan Aushev, President of Ingushetia from 1993 to 2001 – approx. “Lenta.ru”) knows it. If I take everything back, it will not be good. We have the power to take it all back, despite this, we did not take a single step, did not say a single word. This is our republic, we will build it, embellish it. If the Ingush want to live here, we will lease them any land, let them build any tourist base, restaurant, hotel, we will register them. This is the Russian Federation, any citizen has the right to live, ”Kadyrov concluded.
In 1993, Aushev and Dudayev signed an agreement according to which the Sunzhensky region, with the exception of the settlements of Sernovodsk and Assinovskaya, went to Ingushetia. However, the final demarcation of the border did not take place, and in 2012 Kadyrov asked the federal center to establish an administrative border with Ingushetia. In September 2018, the then head of Ingushetia, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, and his Chechen counterpart, in the presence of Alexander Matovnikov, then the representative of the President of Russia in the North Caucasus Federal District, signed an agreement on the establishment of the border. In accordance with the document, Chechnya handed over to Ingushetia a part of the Nadterechny region – a mountainous and wooded area. Ingushetia, in turn, gave Chechnya an equivalent territory on the border with the Malgobek region.
