However, the refugees do not want to return to Chechnya. Considering these results, it is easy to conclude that the inhabitants of Chechnya who fled the war are not prepared to return. The Minister of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Ingushetia V. Kuks announced that registration would be stopped for approximately one month until a new form of registration is introduced. However, no new form of registration is mentioned in any of the federal documents. Unfortunately, the public organizations not by hearsay know how dangerous is it now to be on the territory of the Chechnya Republic.
Nobody has the right of using physical or other means to force people to return there.
The people should be allowed to use their constitutional rights to choose whether to return or not. We appeal to you as the highest state official, who is called to guarantee the rights and freedoms of the citizens of Russia, in particular, the right of every Russian citizen to free movement and choice of place to live as defined by Article 27 of the Russian Constitution and our legislation. We ask you not to allow forced return and pressurizing of the inhabitants of Chechnya in their territory in whatever form. We call on the Russian authorities to adopt a normative act, which gives the opportunity to the people who have suffered as a result of the military action in Chechnya to choose for themselves where and how they want to settle down and build up their lives within the Russian territory. We are convinced that only help, which is addressed directly to those who need it, can provide every citizen with the opportunity of starting a worthwhile new stage in their lives.
