The All-Russia Democratic Assembly

Statement

Moscow, June 19, 2001

The All-Russia Democratic Assembly unanimously expresses its deepest concern over the situation with the residents of the Chechen republic who had to leave its territory.

The All-Russia Democratic Assembly considers the forced return of the refugees to the Chechen Republic categorically inadmissible, as at present none of Chechnya can be considered safe and calls for a halt to the pressure on refugees to make them return.

It is the clear duty of the government to provide refugee camps with everything required by people to live there.

The state should also undertake to provide targeted assistance, which would enable the citizens forced to leave the Chechen Republic to independently resolve the problem of a safe settlement in our country.
