| Chechen Interior Ministry will be in charge of fighting bandits |
| 2002-11-10 |
| The Chechen republic's Interior Ministry, formed only today, "will assume the bulk of responsibility for fighting bandits," Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a Kremlin meeting with Chechen social and religious staffers on Sunday. Good idea. Set Chechen good guys to putting down the Chechen Bad Guys... When speaking about the army, the President stated that it must remain in the places of its permanent disposition and "ready to resist possible exterior aggression... This, to a significant degree, will depend on the work of the Chechen Interior Ministry," the head of state pointed out. "External aggression" in this case being border crossings from safe areas in Georgia... The President expressed his confidence that with the shifting of law-enforcing functions to Chechens, the human rights issue raised by one of the meeting participants would also be taken care of. Yeah. Let the Chechens worry about it... |
