Saturday 3rd March 2007 Chechnya elects new president GROZNY: Chechnya's parliament rubber-stamped yesterday Russian President Vladimir Putin's nomination of a regional strongman, accused by critics of kidnap and murder, as the new president of the province. In Moscow, European commissioner for human rights Thomas Hammarberg called for a commission to be set up to discover the fate of the estimated 2,600 people who disappeared in Chechnya without trace during two wars since 1994. A joint session of parliament's two chambers elected Ramzan Kadyrov with 56 supporting votes, one against and one abstention. "We will continue the great course started by my father and president of the country Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin," the stocky, bearded Kadyrov told Russian television after the parliamentary vote. "If not us, who will restore our republic?" Kadyrov, who controls his own security force, has been de facto ruler of Chechnya despite holding the secondary position of prime minister. His father Akhmad, a Moscow-installed president, was killed by a bomb blast in 2005. +++ ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> See what's inside the new Yahoo!
