[KavkazUzel] The head of Chechnya voiced the idea of ​​excluding the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham* group, which seized power in Syria, from the list of terrorist organizations, and proposed sending Chechen security forces to that country. As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, on December 1, militants from the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham* group forced Syrian government troops to leave Aleppo, which had been controlled by the army of President Bashar al-Assad since 2016. On the night of December 8, armed opposition militants entered Damascus. Assad left the presidential post and left the country. Sources reported that he and his family arrived in Moscow. By December 15, the situation in Aleppo had stabilized, and the city's residents had returned to peaceful life, representatives of the Armenian diaspora said. The idea of ​​cooperation with the "new authorities of Syria" in order to "prevent a humanitarian catastrophe" in Syria was outlined today by the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, on his Telegram channel. "To start positive processes, it is necessary to launch the procedure of excluding Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and its representatives from the Russian list of terrorist organizations. It is important, without waiting for the beginning or end of this process, to immediately organize the work of a contact group of the two countries, which will be able to build the first connections and begin to solve problems. This is a global practice that allows us to get out of the crisis as quickly as possible and help the population," the head of the region said. He stressed that the Chechen authorities "are ready to provide support in patrolling the streets" together with Syrian "law enforcement agencies." "In addition, we are ready to send instructors from the Russian Special Forces University named after V.V. Putin to transfer unique experience and knowledge to the Syrian police," Kadyrov wrote. Kadyrov noted that Putin "has always pursued only one goal - to help the long-suffering Syrian people," to whom the Chechen people "have always been a loyal assistant and friend." Let us recall that residents of Russia, including the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts, are subject to criminal prosecution and receive court sentences on charges of collaborating with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham*. Thus, in early November, the court found two residents of Dagestan guilty of assisting terrorist activity for transferring money to a member of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham*. Both were sentenced to long prison terms. On February 14, it became known that the court sentenced  a Sochi resident to 8.5 years in prison, finding him guilty of transferring money to the terrorist organization Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. |
