Chechen envoy says Russians kill 5,600 in campaign
12:37 p.m. Nov 15, 1999 Eastern
PRAGUE, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Russian attacks on the rebel province of Chechnya
have killed 4,000
civilians and about 1,600 Chechen troops, a senior Chechen official said on
Monday.
Ilyas Akhmadov, considered foreign minister by the Chechen leadership of
President Aslan Maskhadov,
said the civilian deaths resulted from the Russian bombing of towns and
villages and ``shooting just
about anything that moves.''
Akhmadov, on a private visit to Prague, called on the United Nations to
intervene to bring about
negotiations on a peaceful settlement with Moscow.
``Nothing can come out of peace negotiations (just between Russia and
Chechnya). We need a third
party who would be able to help us with the result of peace negotiations,''
Akhmadov told a news
conference at Radio Free Europe headquarters in Prague.
He said he had received the casualty information personally from Maskhadov two
days ago.
Moscow launched a military campaign against the breakaway province eight weeks
ago, saying it aimed
to eradicate Islamist ``terrorists and bandits'' it blames for recent bomb
blasts in Russian cities.
Russian leaders have said they would not stop the campaign until it had
brought the entire rebel region
under control.
Reports from Chechnya have said many civilians have been the victims of
Russian bombing attacks,
and an estimated 200,000 refugees were fleeing the fighting, mostly into
nearby Ingushetia in the North
Caucasus.
Akhmadov said peace talks should result in a commission with the participation
of the UN security
council, which would investigate the bomb attacks in Russian cities.
The commission should create a mechanism for the removal of Russian troops
from Chechnya, and
create a demilitarised zone, he said.
The Czech Foreign Ministry has stressed Akhmadov was in Prague purely on a
private visit at the
invitation of Czech non-profit organisations, and that Czech officials had no
plans to meet him.
Last week, Russia formally protested to the French ambassador in Moscow about
Akhmadov's visit to
the Foreign Ministry in Paris, saying the visit could cloud relations between
France and Russia.
