| Islamic officials of Chechnya will support the newly elected Chechen president in his work to achieve peace and stability, the republic's Mufti Akhmad-Khaji Shamayev told Interfax on Monday morning. "He is a courageous general with strong will, who starting from the moment he was elected chairman of the public council for control over the restoration of Chechnya's economy and social sphere, demonstrated that he is also a developed politician, capable of solving complicated economic and organizational issues," Shamayev said. Alkhanov "is a man of honor, his word and duty, which is of great significance for any leader," he said. |
