thank you so much for being with us today thank you got a president i did have had that one of the key problems many countries including russia face to die is incorrect need constant and criminality no new marching this thursday to the root of the problem is the kook face you were entrusted to think of by what can we do about it. agrees or disagrees i strongly object to your putting it this way that the caucus is the epicenter of ethnic crime unfortunately and it has repeatedly been stressed crime has no national identity i would support those of the opinion that the criminal group in question is of no particular ethnic origin is another important issue we have to tackle today is migration migration unfortunately or perhaps on the contrary and locally is an economic process strictly speaking modern russia has two major centers today moscow and st petersburg perhaps another two or three cities at liberation that abandon competitive business opportunities jobs and everything related to this these centers attract people from the republics of the north caucasus siberia and the far

east stimulating migration towards big cities this is the first issue and i repeat it is a purely economic nature so the same can also be said of education today the most popular and prestigious higher educational institutions are the universities of moscow and st petersburg therefore it is only natural that young people are eager to enter these universities above all others we should focus on the issue and take all the necessary steps that government level to provide for similar competitive educational facilities in the north caucasus and many other russian cities or so if we want to develop our vast country from another really great problem is the unrestrained inflow of cheap labor from the former soviet union this is a. huge problem today is we are getting a cheap and uncontrolled workforce that is not always civilized and cultures cannot always adapt to living in the capital and other big cities we should concentrate on this problem what would have to interconnected questions for you about the past one of the about the outflow of the russian speaking population from the north cook the

in fact it's not in a student that migrate to the big city but also all types of common citizens you can't compare this process to that of siberia or the far east because unlike these regions to cope with it has to do with cultural insulation as a result of internal russian migration it could eventually split the country what can be done to reintegrate its population back into the north caucasus. let's look at this problem from another angle who benefits from the migration of the russian speaking population if you think the republic of pakistan or the chechen republic or any other constituent entity benefits from it you are fundamentally wrong they need a russian speaking population like grade or air because the russian language is the link between various nationalities co-existing in the north caucasus so there is another thing here you know the notion of population mobility and the russian speaking population is far more mobile than the caucasians who are more devoted to

their homes and roots their land and traditions and states should deal with this by creating new competitive jobs or we believe that the state development program for the north caucasus should focus on creating conditions that would facilitate an inflow of russian speakers into the region that is in our immediate interest to work on this and what is particularly encouraging publisher interested in creating such conditions to. fall in august a high ranking french delegation visited the north caucuses and announced their decision to invest considerable funds in developing two reasons that couldn't result in building a cloth of tourists through the gift connected from the rest of the region where many of the rape and lawlessness still persist are you saying that there will be a zone where. lawn order will be installed and chaos and misery everywhere outside that zone i'm asking you this in audio with possible depends of course not it i want you to understand that we are not reinventing the wheel here we are not inventing constructions that have never been heard of it is perfectly obvious that

unless the local population is integrated into the tourism cluster development process all our attempts to build ski lives and by star hotels will inevitably fall flat if we disenfranchise the indigenous population the local population must be involved in all of these developments but how do we do that first of all we must get out of what i call the starship troopers we're not up to ten thousand john people who will be employed in the tourism and service sector these people must be local and live in the areas where these mountain skiing clusters will be developed a second from any residential areas located around those posters we are going to select young people teach them and do our best to help them set up small and medium businesses sometimes with the help of the state they may open small hotels for tourists we want people to be able to make money if people feel involved and integrated in this process i see no problems at all austria had the same experience a while back austria's vice chancellor said of the conference that there were also explosions in austria while infrastructure was being built the local population he

says was also terribly upset until authorities managed to involve locals in what was going on before dark the project had incurred great difficulty. to corny and he thought the be fruitful many investments people and even stated mission terrorists could ensure that fakey and that money later of used to finance terrorist attacks what can be done about that when even fifty pressure than three million have to pay terrorists or put a player over good for her first of all i would say it has to do with a certain lack of trust the business people have in the ability of federal authorities to protect them from criminal extortion networks recently active in the caucasus the situation however. it's changing now we're working actively to explain to people that aiding and abetting terrorism is a crime just as destructive as terrorism itself and that any money given to terrorists can be seen as a crime equal to carrying out a terrorist attack today we have many cases of local citizens and business people

cooperating with law enforcement the results are improving gradually but again this is a long process i've talked to several leaders of move quick this republic and that opinions differ on some of them say negotiations with terrorists i'm necessary while i don't think that there is no talking to terrorists given the powers of must negotiate with terrorists. i believe there's nothing to negotiate with terrorists but we should talk and negotiate with parents of those children who have left in the woods and haven't committed any crimes yet if there's a chance to bring them back from the woods with the help of our religious leaders or their parents and families elders councils and any other social institutions we should be doing our utmost to take it we should encourage those who look forward to us and inform on these people those who are willing to lay down their arms and start living a peaceful life we should consolidate our efforts once they take a gun and commit a crime there's nothing to talk to them about. how many terrorists operate throughout the north quote the today. we like giving numbers but it's actually very

difficult to make a difference between bandits and terrorists the overall number that i usually give to media agencies for both small groups of talk to six members and large groups of twenty to thirty is up to one thousand people in all the north caucuses republics are women we're aware of these gang leaders and we've been working thoroughly on their cases are well formed they funded from within the concho by all the country. was a. recent analysis shows the abroad domestic funding ratio is about ten to ninety the latter being russia they don't need the support of international organizations and other worldwide terror networks such as al-qaeda the money they extort from business represents. confound them this actually means that it's not so much terrorism as banditry at the same time i want to stress again that there is indeed a funding inflow for western foundations charities and human rights organizations these funds are used among other things to finance radical religious literature and

a number of bandit leaders who exploit children for profit in the caucasus. mystical pani many north caucuses residents go to muslim countries such as pakistan and saudi arabia to study by the time they return home what is this the lines were down between their spiritual freedom and they realize they should and that they're citizens of a secular state with worth. the greatest. and fortunately this line becomes blurred we are indeed facing this problem until recently we were unaware of the number of young people who travelled for religious education in saudi arabia pakistan egypt as a number of other countries having lived and studied for five years in a country like saudi arabia which is an absolutely non-secular state a person returns to our country to secular authority institutions and laws and feels lost amid these realities these people require a special approach and allocation program in essence various countries have

different ways of working on this matter for instance turkey and particularly azerbaijan have practically made a decision on providing active adaptive work for these people until these people are really fully adapted to secular laws and to particular rules and principles of behavior until they are prepared to follow these laws they have no right to take any position in any state or unit simple or regional structure nor to do business they have to go through a certain out of taishan system first unfortunately there is no legislative base for this it's a very complicated process it requires a lot of patience and t.v.'s work on the part of families for example on relationships with parents we need to keep track of children who travel abroad to study as we can prohibit them from receiving religious education after the same time we should certainly develop our religious institutes to train experts of exotic studies in the north caucuses i believe the key aspect will be to establish a secular islamic institute through the north caucasus federal university or another regional institution for. credit for and that has been now thought about

democracy and it abandonment in our country and most people believe that sooner or later we'll reach the western style democracy in the cookies but centuries that have been in the kitchen which i'm very difficult to be able to that leave you think you should that tend to lean comprehend think what the but the mentality that is the take this stem islamic to mia but keep it in. just the kind of a society really need a western style democracy. i don't know what a western style democracy is the west itself has various kinds of democracy in the political interpretation of democracy but everyone wants to impose their vision of democracy on other countries and children against it i believe russia has its own form of democratic development for our republics i wouldn't dramatize the situation regarding the peculiarities of the north caucasus there is perhaps one significant difficulty which we should gradually give up this is

a certain activism which over the past twenty years was reimpose in the caucasus for some reason i'm talking about the fact that executive power structures of our regions are being established according to ethnic identity this is a most acute issue which subsequently brings up speculation about clans and corruption of executive care about who should be stopped according to professional rather than ethnic principles and who asked for acting features traditions culture and religion these aspects should be manifest in the parliaments or people should generate laws with and reflect the diversity that exists in the republic and in the caucuses generally and this did look funny and thank you very much for this interview. from our bureau. we hear it was our padre
