Dagestan Mufti Abdulaev: a tough and timely reaction is needed to the terrorist attacks in Dagestan
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Tragedies like the one that occurred in Dagestan, where terrorist attacks in Makhachkala and Derbent killed over 20 people, most of them law enforcement officers, could only have been avoided with a tough and timely response to what was happening. This opinionwas expressed by the Mufti of the Republic of Dagestan, Akhmad Abdulaev, in a conversation with Lenta.ru.

He reminded the regional authorities of the autumn pogroms at the Makhachkala airport. The mufti believes that the too soft reaction to this event is clearly related to the current terrorist attacks.

“If such events are left without a proper reaction every time, there may be more victims, so, of course, we need a tough reaction from those structures that have legal authority to do this,” Abdulaev emphasized.

The mufti is confident that in order to stabilize the situation, it is necessary that the events that took place receive a fair assessment from law enforcement officers. Also, he believes, it is necessary to strictly block access and curiosity to use information from outsiders in which the Ukrainian trace is obvious.

“Thirdly, we need to take a closer look from the inside to see who meets these external demands and pressures,” Abdulaev added.

He recalled that in Dagestan there are areas where potential terrorists have settled; people usually call them Wahhabis.

“This loyal and democratic flirtation with the Wahhabi movements should be banned as a whole, and not targeted at individual groups that multiply like toadstools,” said the mufti.

Abdulaev emphasized that such lawlessness cannot be allowed to repeat.

As Regnum reported, on June 23, armed militants attacked two Orthodox churches, synagogues and a traffic police post in Makhachkala and Derbent. As a result, 15 security officials were killed. On June 25, the head of the Derbent district, Mavsum Ragimov, reported that the number of dead law enforcement officers had increased to 16 people.

Archpriest Nikolai Kotelnikov was also among the victims of the terrorists. According to the Republic's Ministry of Health, 21 people died as a result of the terrorist attacks, and 46 were injured. A source from the Telegram channel “112” reported on June 25 that the number of deaths as a result of the terrorist attacks in Dagestan increased to 25 people - 15 security officials, five civilians and five people whose identities have not yet been established. In addition, the channel’s interlocutor indicated that 51 people were injured.

Security forces eliminated the attackers. The Investigative Committee reported on June 24 that law enforcement officials had identified the five killed militants.

The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, called the terrorist attacks that occurred in Makhachkala and Derbent on June 23 a planned action by the enemies of the republic, both external and internal. He noted that there are those who really do not like that Dagestan is “firmly taking” the path of new socio-economic development.

Melikov believes that the terrorist attacks, the purpose of which is to sow discord among the peoples of Russia, were most likely planned from abroad.
