On September 8 round table devoted to the elimination of
the Ossetian-Ingush conflict took place in Nazran. The discussion
was initiated by renown human rights activist Valery Borschyov,
Chair of the Board of the Social Partnership Foundation
and member of YABLOKO’s Bureau, Anatoli Sidakov, Chairman
of the North-Ossetian YABLOKO branch and Magomed Mutzolgov,
head of the MAShR human rights organisation.
The round table turned out to be an event of great importance
in the Republic. Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, President of Ingushetia,
Vladimir Lukin, Russia’s Ombudsman, Thomas Hammarberg, Human
Rights Commissioner of the Council of Europe, Daud Garakoyev,
leader of the Ingush YABLOKO, heads of human rights organisations
and Public Prosecutor of the Republic of Ingushetia participated
in the discussion.
According to Valery Borschyov, in spite of the acuteness
and complexity of the problems, the round table was conducted
in the spirit of understanding and humanism. “It was obvious
that people got tired of many years of strife,” noted Borschyov.
Borschyov also marked a very active participation of the
Ingush President Yunus-Bek Yevkurov in the discussion. “Yevkurov
attached great value to this event and expressed his desire
to inform the Administration of the President of Russia
on the need of such meetings,” Borschyov said.
The round table also resulted in the creation of a permanent
working group joining together both representatives of the
North Ossetia and Ingushetia.
