CHECHEN PRESIDENT DECLARES SELF NORTH CAUCASUS AMIR
The website chechenews.com posted on October 28 a
statement it received by e-mail, signed by Chechen
***President*** and ***resistance commander*** Doku
Umarov, in which Umarov confirms that he has
proclaimed himself amir of a North Caucasus Islamic
state, the precise extent of which he declines to
specify.
London-based ChRI ***Foreign Minister*** Akhmed
Zakayev expressed concern one week earlier that Umarov
would issue such a proclamation under pressure from
radical elements within the resistance who, Zakayev
claimed, have been suborned by the FSB, which intends
to retaliate with harsh reprisals across the North
Caucasus. [That is, London-based 'political refugee'
Zakayev is blaming the Russian Federal Security
Bureau, etc.]
The prospect that Umarov would declare a North
Caucasus emirate has elicited concern among
***representatives of the ChRI government in exile***,
who warned that doing so would violate the
***constitution*** and undermine the ***legal status
of the ChRI***.
Two prominent Chechen field commanders, Isa Munayev
and Sultan Arsayev, have issued statements publicly
siding with Zakayev, thereby implicitly distancing
themselves from Umarov. LF
