Editor

DAGESTAN, February 13, Caucasus Times – Mayor of Makhachkala Said Amirov speaking Friday at the meeting of the municipal government officials summoned to work out tighten security measures to crack down on terrorism and crimes blamed the critical situation in the city on the law enforcement of the republic.

The criminal situation in the republic had reached its critical point, the mayor said. Over the last year there had been 22 attempts on the top officials’ lives and attacks on the law enforcement officers, which resulted in 24 deaths and dozens injuries. The assassination of deputy Interior minister Maj. Gen. Mohamed Omarov in broad daylight in the center of Makhachkala February 2, this year has become the last drop, which overflowed a cup of patience of local authorities, Mayor Amirov was quoted as saying.

The mayor and the government reprimanded police officials and districts administrators for mishandling the anti-criminal situation and summoned the law enforcement agencies to crack down on terrorism and crimes. The municipal and republic’s authorities have warned to dismiss the police and security officials if they will not succeed in fighting the crimes and terrorists.

The “Free Eurasia” project is an independent media platform based in Prague, with an ambitious mission to provide the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus with high-quality, objective and timely information in their national languages. We unite the expertise of editors and journalists working in Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Circassian, Avar and Russian to break the monopoly of state-run Russian-language media and amplify the voices of local communities. Direction Our work focuses on comprehensive coverage of social, political, economic and cultural developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the issues facing diasporas in Russia, Turkey, China and other countries. We produce news, analytical articles, video reports, podcasts, interviews and journalistic investigations. Special attention is paid to topics rarely addressed by state media: human rights violations, corruption, ethnic and cultural identity, migration and international relations. We strive to engage audiences of all ages, with a particular emphasis on young people and residents of remote regions, offering them digital content in their native languages. Goal Our main goal is to promote the development and sustainability of independent media in Central Asia and the Caucasus. We aim to strengthen the region’s informational sovereignty by expanding access to truthful sources and raising media literacy. At the same time, we support the development of national languages as key elements of identity and cultural heritage, encouraging public discussion and engagement. The project seeks to become a catalyst for building a strong civil society and defending democratic values, helping to train new professional journalists and fostering international cooperation.
