روسيا: منع مسلمي شمال القوقاز من التواجد بمنطقة "قوزاق"

- خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

اعتبرت "كراسنودار كراي" - إحدى الكيانات الفيدرالية الروسية - منطقة "قوزاق" منطقة تحتاج لتعزيزات أمنية نظرًا لأنها من المقرر أن تستضيف دورة الألعاب الأولمبية الشتوية عام 2014 فيها.

وطالب "ألكسندر تكاشيف" - حاكم "كراسنودار كراي" - القوات الأمنية منع المسلمين ذوي البشرة السوداء من مواطني شمال القوقاز من السير بهذه المنطقة.

وقد أعلن "ألكسندر تكاشيف" أن المسلمين ذوي البشرة السوداء من أهالي شمال القوقاز غير مرغوب فيهم من قبل الموطنين الروس الآخرين الذي يعتبرونهم دخلاء.

وجاءت تلك التصريحات في خطابه العام، الذي أكد خلاله أنه يجب الحذر من تحول المنطقة إلى مصير "كوسوفو"، التي كانت جزءًا من "صربيا" ثم سيطر المسلمون عليها حتى استقلوا بها، وما واكب ذلك من مصادمات وأعمال عنف؛ حيث سادت الثقافة الإسلامية بالمنطقة، وأكد أنه يجب التصدي لذلك وتفعيل سياسات الهجرة والتحقق من الأوراق ودعم النظام الداخلي لمعالجة مخاف أهالي "قوزاق" الروس من المسلمين.

وجدير بالذكر أن "تكاشيف" أحد المقربين من الرئيس الروسي "فلاديمير بوتين" وكان على وشك فقد منصبه الفترة الماضية بعد الاتهام بإهمال التعامل مع الفيضان الذي حصد 171 قتيلاً إلا أنه حافظ على منصبه لمسؤوليته الكبيرة ضمن المسؤولين عن تنظيم الدورة الأولمبية والتي تتكلف قرابة 30 مليار دولار. المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Russian Official Enlists Cossacks to Repel Muslim Migrants

The governor of Russia’s Krasnodar region, which will host the Winter Olympics in 2014, has enlisted the area’s Cossacks as an auxiliary police force, urging them to prevent darker-skinned Muslims from the North Caucasus from moving there.

Aleksandr Tkachev, in a speech to law enforcement officers on Thursday, announced that as of September, 1,000 Cossacks will be paid from the budget to maintain public order. In the speech, he said the Cossacks — whose paramilitary forces served the czars — could take measures beyond what the police are allowed.

“What you can’t do, the Cossacks can,” he told the officers in a speech that was widely circulated 0n the Internet on Friday. “We have no other way — we shall stamp it out, instill order; we shall demand paperwork and enforce migration policies.”

He said that a neighboring region had stopped performing its traditional function as “a filter” between central Russia and the North Caucasus. The people who live in the North Caucasus, who are darker skinned and mostly Muslim, are often not welcomed by ethnic Russians, who consider them outsiders.

He said ethnic Russians there are “already feeling uncomfortable,” and that the people who settled the region, Cossacks among them, “year after year are losing their position.”

“Who will answer when the first blood is spilled, when interethnic conflicts start? And sooner or later it will happen,” Mr. Tkachev said. He then offered Kosovo, once a part of Serbia, as an example, saying that Albanians “began to destroy churches, forced the dominance of their culture, their religion, began conflicts, imposed pressure, blood, small war, big war. And that was it — there was no country, there were no people, thousands of refugees all over the world.”

Cossacks, the fearsome horsemen of 19th century Russia, have experienced a revival under Mr. Tkachev, who has provided them with financial support, uniforms and official status. After last month’s floods, Cossacks were deployed to rescue survivors and distribute humanitarian aid. Seven years ago they drove out a local population of Meskhetian Turks, something their leaders still celebrate, recently telling an American visitor, “We sent them to you!”

Mr. Tkachev, a close ally of President Vladimir V. Putin, was in danger of losing his post last month when local officials were charged with negligence in the catastrophic flooding that killed at least 171 people in the city of Krymsk. Yet, he has survived in large part because he is a key player in planning the 2014 Olympics, a vast construction project that could end up costing as much as $30 billion.
