Chechnya - Tribute To Chechen War Deportated

(23 Feb 1995) T/I: 10:01:00

As Russian forces continued their bombardment of Chechnya on
Wednesday (22/2), a group of Russian politicians opposed to the
war arrived in neighbouring Ingushetia to commemorate the mass
deportation of Chechen and Ingushi people by Josef Stalin 51 years
ago. They bombarded Argun, 19 km (12 miles) east of Grozny, but Chechen troops maintained control of the town -- one of the main pockets of resistence. In the Ingushi capital Nazran, the Russian delegation -- led by radical Yegor Gaidar -- sympathised with Chechen
suffering.
