Anjust Invasion of Chechen and Massacre of Chechen People    


        
Russian Federation invaded Chechen second time today without regarding international law and their barbarous massacre on civil Chechen people threatens the efforts for establishing permanent peace conditions. It is observed a clear trial for genocide for the second time in history in Chechen country. Apart from legal basics, Russian Federation had no advantages in ivading Chechen. Today, Russian Federation controls the largest land on the world. Chechen contry is only 1/1000 big of Russian Federation. Chechen and North Caucasian economical potential is so weak when compared to Russian rich economical sources.

      Russian Federation people had no gain in Chechen invasion, which is in fact an important economical extravagance for whole Russia. It will be useful for all Russian Federation people to stop invasion. It is clear that Russian “traditionally imperial policy” lead the Federation to such an invasion. Unfortunately, Western countries, namely USA and others, and also Turkey, did not show required reaction for this unjust invasion and clear human right violations in Chechenia. Thus, they supported the imperialist tradition of Russian Federation. As long as countries continue their imperial traditions, and this tradition is supported and international legal basics are disobeyed, it is not possible to establish a permanen peace and security in Europe and all over the world as well. Russian Federation has been cheating world public by a counter propaganda that covers the real fact.

      Imperialist state tradition inherited by Russian Federation has also the most progressed propaganda techniques. Throughout the history, these techniques have been used for deceiving public and gaining legality for imperialist aims. At their invasion trial unsucceeded in 1994, Russian Federation made an agreement with the Chechen government in 1996 and immediately started the preparations for the new invasion. This different military campaign was planned during this preparation. The more important preparation of Russia was to publish incorrect and  false news about Chechen people in order to make world public opinion feel antipathy about them, so that they would not receive support. Russian Intelligence Service (old KGB) organized some wild events and then they claimed that Chechens made all these.

      Especially, they want to use the reaction in western world against radical Islam movements and declared that Chechen independence campaign was a fundamentalist and radical terrorist movement also. Russian Intelligence Service bombed some civilian buildings in Moscov and other cities and killed hundreds of innocent people. Then, they announced to world that Chechen terrorists made these events. At last, they surrounded some Chechen villages in Daghestan and they organized military attacks on these villages. Some small Chechen groups ran for help of their people in the region without the permission of Chechen Government, but, similar plan was on the agenda again; Russiands announced that Chechen groups attacked on Daghestan. All these news which were spread out by Russians, are all incorrect news and slanders over Chechens, which are spread for deceiving world public. REALITIES OF THE LAST 8 YEARS. Chechen country did not accept the constructional procedure of Russian Federation and announced its independence in compliance with international law basics and present practices for the last 10 years.

      Declaring its independence, Chechenia did not attacked on Russian Federation. Russian Federation army first attacked and invaded Chechenia in 1994 and killed about 100,000  people during this attack. Being defeated after an invasion of two years, Russian army withdrew from Chechenia. Later in 1996, there has been an agreement signed with Chechen government. After a three year preparation, Russian army has started a second invasion in Chechen with bloodiest methods. Those people who are defending Chechen country against aggressive Russian Army, are not terrorists but fighters for freedom and independence. Chechens did not attack on Moscov or any other Russian city. There is no radical Islam government or even a movement in Chechen country. There is no Vahhabi tariqa. Those who know the social structure, traditions and social culture of Chechen people, are aware of the fact that there will not be a radical Islam terrorism in Chechen country. Meanwhile, Chechen President Mr Mashadov required help from Christian world leader Papa for positioning neutral and international peace forces in Chechen country.

       Chechen coutry require help of all people and countries who believe in human rights and freedom, democracy, peace and justice as a member of contemporary modern civilization. This country needs urgent help and aid against this unjust attack and truculent massacre and genocide. Russian propaganda does not reflect the truth. The world should spend effort in order to know the realities, be neutral, listen to the Chechens and stop unjust Russian invasion and massacre.

ABKHASIA and SOUTH OSSETIO PROBLEMS

Abkhas people is one of the North Caucasian tribes in historical, cultural and traditional respects. They have no relation with Georgians in these characteristics. Abkhasia has always been the land of Abkhas people throughout the history, Most of Abkhas people were exiled to the Ottoman Empire in the period following 1864. Instead of them, Russians and other people were settled. Though Abkhasia was in North Caucasia Federation established in 1918, it became a “confederative state” with equal position in Georgia when Soviet Union was established. During Stalin period, it was made an “autonomous republic – federative state” within Georgia. This change was followed by Georgian migration and settlement in Abkhasia. Thus, Abkhas people lost the majory in their country. When Soviet Union went into collapse process, Georgian government started severe suppression over Abkhas people.

      In the period following Georgia’s independence, Georgia’s federal state structure was tried to be changed into a republic and for this reason there has been prepared a change in the constitution. Abkhasia Parliament rejected this change, and declaring their independence, the Parliament proposed discussions to Georgian government who replied this proposal with a military invasion. Most of Abkhasia was invaded by Georgian army. in August 1992. Abhasia's legal administrators had to leave the capital city and move the administration center to another city. Abkhas people started a resistance and independent campaign against invader Georgian Army. The war lasted more than a year, and ended with the defeat of Georgion army. There had been a de facto independent state in Abkhasia for 6 years and all state functions were being fulfilled by indepentent state institutions selected democratic methods. Upon Georgia’s request, Russian Federation has been applied a strong sanctions on Abkhasia since 1996, and cut all the economical, social and cultural relations of this country with the outer world. Today, Abkhas people are under the threat of poverty because of these sanctions and blockade. All medical and educational possibilities have been limited and any kind of economical relations have been prevented.

        This is a clear human right violation case. First of all, these sanctions and blockade should be stopped. Abkhas people considers Georgian people as their traditionally friends and want to set peace between two peoples. But peace should be set in compliance with the international law basics. Peace plan should give permission to the grandsons of exiled Abkhas people in 19th century to turn back and settle in their ancestor’s lands. There is a single Osset people in North Caucasia. In the period of Sovied Union, this people were separated into two parts; North Ossetia is in Russia Federation and South Ossetia in Georgi as an autonomous region. After being independent, Georgia annulled all the reserved rights autonomous status in South Ossetia. There have been conflicts in South Ossetia because of this illegal action of Georgia. South Ossetia is waiting for the international society and organization to interfere this unjust applications.
