Editor

DAGESTAN, October 13, Caucasus Times – The regional government is taking under control foreign workforce in the republic, the official press service told Caucasus Times correspondent. To regulate the flowing of foreign workers into the republic the governmental has established ad hoc committee charged with a task of supervising the employers who hire foreign workers. Since now, the employers have to submit applications to be considered by the committee, which will decide the maximum number of foreign workers to be admitted to the republic. The workforce quota should be approved by federal agencies to grant resident permit on the territory of the republic.

The authorities believe the measure will help to control the illegal immigration and foreign labor force in Dagestan. Recently, thousands of aliens had come to the republic employed by local businessmen. The Interior Ministry officials said law enforcement officers had recently inspected several enterprises and revealed many foreign employees staying without any documents or registration. The foreign workers, or so-called “gastarbeiters,” coming to the republic are largely the citizens of Transcaucasia countries, Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan.

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.
