After the riots, the Lak and Tarkin villagers agreed to introduce moratorium on construction of houses in Karaman until the election of the head of Dagestan, Muslim Gasan-Guseinov, the spokesman of Lak migrants, said on August 22. His counterpart Magomed-Amin Magomedov, who is representing the Tarkins, said, in his turn, that the issue of moratorium will first be discussed at the congress of the Tarkin people on August 25.
"The officials Ramazan Djafarov, Arthur Israpilov and others promised us that before September 25 the governmental commission would come to a decision on Karaman land plots. At the congress, we plan to announce it to people and, perhaps, elect our delegates-Tarkins to the commission," said Magomedov.
