Ramzan Kadyrov ceases to deny information about conspiracy

In response to a question about the conspiracy, the leader of Chechnya said that he had stopped some negotiations between officials. Ramzan Kadyrov mentioned Ibragim Temirbaev, the former Mayor of Argun, as his detractor. After the scandal involving the use of a stunning device by Islam Kadyrov, whose name was also mentioned in connection with the conspiracy, the leader of the Chechen Republic said that he "overdid" on the post of the Mayor of Grozny.

At a press conference, the director of the news agency "Chechnya Today" asked Ramzan Kadyrov to comment on information about an assassination attempt on him.

On October 14, the newspaper "Novaya Gazeta" reported a "large-scale clean-up" and torture of top-ranking Chechen officials suspected of disloyalty to Ramzan Kadyrov.

The leader of Chechnya said that in case of a real conspiracy, its participants "would not have travelled within the republic," the "Grozny" TV Channel reports. Ramzan Kadyrov did not rule out the serious participation of only one person in the conspiracy: Ibragim Temirbaev.

Kadyrov's statement contains an indirect admission that there was a conspiracy, notes Fatima, a resident of Chechnya.

Ramzan Kadyrov believes that his relative Islam Kadyrov, the former Mayor of Grozny, cannot be a traitor. The Chechen leader explained that Islam Kadyrov used tough methods to fight with swindlers.

The leader of Chechnya has actually acquitted Islam Kadyrov, concludes Zalina, a resident of Chechnya. "It turned out that Islam Kadyrov was dismissed not because he beat and tortured people, including women, but because he did not obey the leader," the woman noted.

    When commenting on a document banning namaz (prayer) in the Andropovsky District of the Stavropol Territory that had already been cancelled by the district’s authorities, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has called the ban an “open discrimination and legal lawlessness.” The leader of Chechnya has suggested that the authorities of other regions should build more mosques if they do not want namaz in the street.
