Ahmet Hakan, a columnist from the daily Turkish newspaper “Hurriyet”, wrote an article criticizing Ramzan Kadyrov, head of the pro-Russian regime in the Russian occupied Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.

Here is the article:

A man whose name is Kadyrov…
Puppet of the Russians…
Let’s read a few lines from his portrait:
-Feeds lion and tiger in his house’s garden…
-Proposes a toast by saying Allah-u Akbar…
-Builds the most magnificent palaces in a poor country…
-Tortures his dissidents…
-Humiliates Dudaev, shaheed leader of the Chechen struggle…
-Becomes well known for his cruelty…
-Declares a bairam on his birthday…
In brief…
He is the latest in a series of “weird leaders who are typical to the Caucasus”…
The Russians have learned the affair:
Things they couldn’t do, they have it made a man whose name is “Ramzan”, surname “Kadyrov” do.
“If it is being Muslim, he is Muslim… If it is being Chechen, he is Chechen,” they imply.
He tyrannizes over his nation which any Russian does not dare do, with his self confidence to be a Muslim and a Chechen…
His cruelty is not only in his own region.
He has “death lists” in his pocket.
He sends his agents to Istanbul to carry out bloody executions in the streets.
Human beings ask willingly or unwillingly:
During the 90s, did we shout “Chechnya… Chechnya” for this man to create this strange kingdom?
All right, let’s not to bother about us…
Did Chechen mujahedeens die in the mountains for this man to splurge money on Hollywood stars?
