CHECHEN PRESIDENT DECLARES SELF NORTH CAUCASUS AMIR

The website chechenews.com posted on October 28 a

statement it received by e-mail, signed by Chechen

***President*** and ***resistance commander*** Doku

Umarov, in which Umarov confirms that he has

proclaimed himself amir of a North Caucasus Islamic

state, the precise extent of which he declines to

specify. 

London-based ChRI ***Foreign Minister*** Akhmed

Zakayev expressed concern one week earlier that Umarov

would issue such a proclamation under pressure from

radical elements within the resistance who, Zakayev

claimed, have been suborned by the FSB, which intends

to retaliate with harsh reprisals across the North

Caucasus. [That is, London-based 'political refugee'

Zakayev is blaming the Russian Federal Security

Bureau, etc.]

The prospect that Umarov would declare a North

Caucasus emirate has elicited concern among

***representatives of the ChRI government in exile***,

who warned that doing so would violate the

***constitution*** and undermine the ***legal status

of the ChRI***. 

Two prominent Chechen field commanders, Isa Munayev

and Sultan Arsayev, have issued statements publicly

siding with Zakayev, thereby implicitly distancing

themselves from Umarov. LF
