After voyage to Turkey, Kadyrov's assistant posts video with excuses

Ramzan Kadyrov did not avoid meeting his critics during his trip to Turkey, Akhmed Dudaev, the Chechen Minister for Press, has stated in response to accusations against of the head of the republic of cowardice.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in September, Khasan Khalitov, a blogger living in Turkey, accused Chechen law enforcers of kidnapping his relatives living in Chechnya. Khalitov also stated that Chechen authorities stood behind the announcement of blood feud against him and several families in Chechnya. He called on the head of the republic to send his representative to Turkey to "sort it out." In October, Kadyrov personally visited Turkey with his assistant, Minister Akhmed Dudaev, who then stated that they "had wandered along and across several Turkish cities," but never met any of the "shaitans" who had declared their readiness to meet the head of Chechnya. However, Khalitov reproached Kadyrov's associates for cowardice, suggesting that they had deliberately avoided meeting him.

At night on October 15, Akhmed Dudaev posted a video in his page ahmed_95kra, in which he responded to the attempts of Kadyrov's critics to clarify exactly when the head of Chechnya had visited Turkey. On his smartphone, Dudaev showed photos of Kadyrov's vacation in Turkey. These are screenshots showing the publication date – October 11 and 12.

"On October 11, we walked to restaurants, shopping centres, along the coast, and had rest together. We did not hide from anyone the dates when we arrived there, and when we flew away. How can you hide when such a motor cortege is driving? If you ever leave your holes, then you could have asked and found us," Minister Dudaev has stated.
