First, Ichkeria was recognised by Georgia only during the rule of Gamsakhurdia (in the early nineties). Second, and more important, *now* Chechen insurgents don't control any stable territory and do not maintain a state anywhere. Now it's rather a government in exile. If it were not 2009 but 1998 now I'd have nothing against listing Chechnya with other unrecognised countries since then it was indeed de facto independent. ¿question?
