On the border between Dagestan and Chechnya, a group of Chechens on horseback were seen heading to the Novolaksky district of Dagestan with the slogans “Power of Akhmat!” Police officers stopped the convoy.
At first, the head of the Novolaksky District Criminal Investigation Department tried to speak to the horsemen, but the conversation failed. Then when the police arrived at the scene, the passengers turned and left.
The media suggested that the action could be related to the territorial dispute between Chechnya and Dagestan. However, a source in the Dagestan Ministry of the Interior told the Rise telegram channel that this was not the case.
“There is no need to dramatize,” said a Dagestani police spokesman. He explained that in fact the inhabitants of Chechnya were heading to the Novolaksky district to the monument to the 19th century Chechen commander, an active participant in the Caucasus war, the Chechen imam Baysangur Benoevsky, who was executed here by a court. -martial exactly 160 years ago.
“This action certainly had to be coordinated according to the law,” added a Dagestan police representative, explaining that since the group of horsemen did not do this, they explained everything to them and turned and left.
“There were no conflicts, there were no arrests,” added the source.
