Re: Keep routing for the Muslim extremists, Gustave,.... Seems that the US too is cuddling "Muslim extremists": January 25, 2002 Putin said to exploit U.S. war By David R. Sands THE WASHINGTON TIMES Russia has exploited the post-September 11 war on global terrorism to increase its repression in the breakaway republic of Chechnya, the top diplomat for the self-styled Chechen Republic said in an interview. Ilyas Akhmadov, foreign minister for the Chechen government, also said the Bush administration had not done enough to point out human rights abuses by Russian forces in the brutal Chechen conflict as it sought to improve ties with the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin. "Without a doubt, the tragedies in New York and Washington have had an adverse effect on our situation," Mr. Akhmadov said in a meeting with reporters and editors of The Washington Times on Wednesday. "Anyone can observe the obvious fact that Russia has utilized the tragedy for its own purposes and its own goals." The Chechen minister, in his first visit to Washington since the September 11 attacks, met with lower-level State Department officials for more than two hours on Wednesday. Because the U.S. government did not recognize the separatist Chechen regime, the meeting was not held inside the State Department building. A State Department spokesman declined to comment on the meeting, refusing even to confirm that it had taken place. Mr. Akhmadov's previous visits to the United States and Western Europe have provoked sharp protests from the Russian government. Moscow yesterday accused the United States of an "unfriendly step" in receiving Mr. Akhmadov, and urged Washington to stand by its commitment to fight terrorism. "Such contacts, no matter what the justification, cannot be seen as anything other than an unfriendly step toward Russia, contradicting the spirit of cooperation and partnership of both countries in acting against international terrorism," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Chechen sympathizers considered Mr. Akhmadov's visit in March to Washington a diplomatic breakthrough. He met with the acting assistant secretary of state for the region, the first time he had been received at such a high official level.
