Instagram users criticize Akhmadov's arguments in dispute with blogger Tumso
In his dispute with the blogger, Tumso Abdurakhmanov, Chingiz Akhmadov, Director of the "Chechnya Today" News Agency, has unconvincingly justified the authorities' position and uses personal insults, social network users have noted. Some YouTube users have supported the blogger in his dispute with Chechen authorities about the reasons of unemployment in the republic.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Tumso Abdurakhmanov had criticized the authorities of Chechnya for the TV report about residents of the republic unwilling to work. He accused the Chechen leadership of economic "strangulation" of people deprived of the opportunity to even to graze their cattle.
The Chechen people "are becoming like a society of loafers, for whom even a high salary is not always a reason to go to work," said the journalist of the "Grozny" ChGTRK (Chechen State TV and Radio Company).
The journalist, Chingiz Akhmadov, is posting in social networks his video replies to Tumso Abdurakhmanov, by defending Chechen authorities.
"When Putin Avenue was built, we were unloading stones from the carriages; it was in the month of Ramadan; and then, they deceived us with our wages!" the user Enmolkoman Enmolkoman has stated on the YouTube.
"Chechens are not lazy people!!! Due to their hard work they live well in other countries," wrote the user Zzz xxx.
In Chechnya, even highly qualified specialists have to take almost any lob, said Ruslan Kutaev, President of the Assembly of Caucasian Nations.
"The main problem is the lack of jobs. My relatives can't find an architect's job and are now digging trenches," he said.
