Russia and the CIS (bbabo.net) - The Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Chechnya has commented on the opening of a park named after Dzhokhar Dudayev in the small Turkish town of Korfez.

The religious organization in its statement stressed that this decision is in conflict with the traditions of Islam, since it is about an atrocity.

The Chechen clergy, addressing the Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, expressed their readiness to defend their position before Turkish theologians.

The statement notes that the Turkish authorities are obliged to suppress cases of "support for the enemies of the Chechen people."

Meanwhile, the media draws attention to the fact that many parks in Turkey have been named after Dudayev. For example, in Istanbul there are four of them. Many Turks see Dudayev as a prominent political and religious figure, while in Russia he is recognized as the leader of separatists and terrorists who sought to secede and separate the republics of the North Caucasus from the Russian Federation.
