HEAD OF DUMA committee: if Washington receives the Chechen emissary, we will consider that USA backs terrorism

PPAVDA.Ru has already written about the Moscow officials’ respond to US initiative to receive the so-called foreign minister of Aslan Maskhadov's former regime. The reaction of the head of the Duma international affairs committee, Dmitri Rogozin (People's Deputy group) was even more harsh. In particular he said he was very negative about it. If the meeting with this Chechen emissary "is arranged at a serious official level and if he is received in the White House, we will have grounds to consider the U.S. as one of those states that officially back terrorism," Rogozin told the press on Wednesday, Interfax reports.
