CHECHNYA, 28 February, Caucasus Times. On 28 February during his press conference in Moscow Chechen President Alu Alkhanov emphasized that the Danish Refugee Council should and will continue its activities on the territory of Chechnya.

“This Danish organization will continue its work in our republic. I am grateful to them for providing enormous assistance to Chechen Republic starting from at least 1999”, – Alkhanov told journalists during his press conference in Moscow. Also, he noted that nobody expelled this Danish organization from Chechnya. In his words, there should have been prepared a special “legal document” to expell this organization from Chechen Republic.

Commenting on the previous statement made by Acting Chechen Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov that this Danish organization should stop working in Chechnya, Alkhanov noticed that taking into account extremely tense circumstances at that time, this statement was purely emotional expression.

In addition, Alkhanov remarked that there will be no elections in Chechnya in the near future since new federal law changed the system of elections of the heads of the Russian regions.

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.
