 Chechen President Alu Alkhanov stated that he is prepared to deal with anyone advocating a peaceful solution to the conflict in Chechnya, but said he opposes dialogue with Shamil Basayev and Akhmed Zakayev.
| "Nope. Nope. Ain't gonna do it. No way, Khozeh!" |
"I'm not ready to talk with Basayev and did not plan to deal with Maskhadov. These people will not assume any tasks that would benefit our people. It would be an empty talk," Alkhanov told a news conference at the Interfax main office in Moscow on Wednesday. He said proposals for negotiations with the guerilla leaders is a trite subject. "Some profit from it, while others use it to make money," the Chechen president said. |
