By Jokola Achishvili in the Pankisi Gorge (CRS No. 291, 16-Jun-05) "There is nothing good for my family here. There will be nothing good there [in Chechnya] either. But if I don’t leave now, when they [Russian officials] are taking us, I won’t be able to do it later. I have no money. Maybe I will be able to find a job. In any case, there is nothing here."

Chechen ombudsman refuses to work with Memorial organization
GROZNY. June 15 (Interfax) - Chechnya's commissioner for human rights Lema Khasuyev said he will not cooperate with representatives of the Memorial human rights organization.
"Memorial has a principle: the worse the situation in Chechnya the better for Memorial. That is why I will not work together with them [Memorial representatives]," Khasuyev said on Wednesday.
The Memorial administration is "pursuing their only goal - to work off the money received from Western structures," the ombudsman said.

EU Charter Bad for Russia?
Friday, June 17, 2005. Issue 3189. Page 4.
A political commentator with close links to the Kremlin said Thursday that that the EU Constitution's rejection by French and Dutch voters boded well for for Europeans and Russia.

"There was a split between the elites' game of a unified Europe as a superpower playing geopolitics, and the Europeans' desire to live in a normal, sovereign environment," he said. (AP)
