Chechnya-Ceasefire/Rebel Leader Maskhadov

Описание: (1 Jun 1996) T/I 10:00:15


Russian soldiers serving in Chechnya and the local residents of
Grozny have been able to relax a little because of the cease-fire
that took effect on Saturday (1/6).
But a standoff between Russian troops and rebels at the town of
Shali threatened the cease-fire almost before it began. The
Chechen military leader, Aslan Maskhadov, warned in an interview
that, if the Russians did not keep their promises, the Chechen
rebels would resume the war.

Chechen military leader Aslan Maskhadov SOT (in Russian):
Before the 16th of June, we want to see real steps, but not words.
If it will be words again, we would rather stop it all [meaning
negotiations]. We are not inclined to play Yeltsin's suit so that
he wins the negotiations, gets re-elected for the second term and
starts the war again in a more sophisticated way. We do not simply
think this way, but expect it to be like this."
