“Council of Teips of Ingushetia” Magomed Daudov, published a new video message on his YouTube channel. “Caucasian Knot” ( included by the Ministry of Justice in the register of organizations performing the functions of a foreign agent ) translates the video with the title “The Council of Teips responded to threats and insults of some persons with the words of V. V. Putin” in Ingush./p>
During the meeting, the chairman of the organization, Murat Daskiev, instructed council member Batyr Bogatyrev to read out the “last statement of the organization” on the issue of land ownership on the border between the two regions. “We asked [Chechens and Ingush] to behave like Muslims, without insults. The World Congress of the Ingush People has created a commission. We wanted the Chechens to set up exactly the same commission so that they could sit down and come to an agreement, and if they cannot, then the decision should be based on Sharia, “the statement says.
The Council of Teips emphasized that the proposal of Kadyrov's ally to come to the Fortanga River on the border between the two subjects and swear on the Koran does not comply with Sharia norms. “The Ingush people are not talking about any specific one village, we are talking about the illegal adoption of the agreement in 2018 and the territorial delimitation of the entire territory in accordance with Islam. We will be patient until there are people who want to justly, according to Islam, close this issue, in accordance with Sharia, “Bogatyrev read out.
Council members recalled that Russian President Vladimir Putin, “When an insult was expressed in his address, he replied very simply:“ Whoever calls his name is called that ””approx. “Lenta.ru” ). “Until then, we will stop until better times,” they concluded in Ingushetia.
How it all began
Earlier, the speaker of the Chechen parliament, Magomed Daudov, reacted sharply to the statement of the Council of Teips of the Ingush people, which criticized the words of the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov about the transfer of land. He said that members of the Council of Teips again raised the issue of land ownership and the agreement concluded between the two republics. According to the speaker of the Chechen parliament, this is a provocation. He also confirmed Kadyrov's threat to take off his pants and turn them into a flag for those who cross the Fortanga River, which flows in Chechnya and Ingushetia, and declare this land Ingush.
A new land dispute began after Ingushetia was outraged by reports of repair work in the Ingush settlement of Dattykh, Sunzhensky District, bordering Chechnya. Netizens called what was happening as another provocation of neighbors. In response, the head of Chechnya threatened that he could take away by force from Ingushetia the lands “illegally transferred [by the first president of the self-proclaimed Chechen Republic of Ichkeria Dzhokhar] Dudayev.” According to Kadyrov, if the Ingush want to live on Chechen lands, they will be leased.
In 1993, Dudayev and the first president of Ingushetia, Ruslan Aushev, concluded an agreement according to which the Sunzhensky region, with the exception of the settlements of Sernovodsk and Assinovskaya, went to Ingushetia. However, the final demarcation of the border did not take place, and in 2012 Ramzan Kadyrov asked the federal center to establish an administrative border with Ingushetia. In September 2018, the then head of Ingushetia, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, and his Chechen counterpart, in the presence of Aleksandr Matovnikov, then the representative of the President of Russia in the North Caucasus Federal District, signed an agreement on the establishment of the border. In accordance with the document, Chechnya handed over to Ingushetia a part of the Nadterechny region – a mountainous and wooded area. Ingushetia, in turn, transferred to Chechnya an equivalent territory on the border with the Malgobek region.
