HAMAS Delegation Visit to Moscow.

Moscow, Russia, March 2, 2006
On the eve of the HAMAS delegation official visit to Moscow, the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress (EAJC) Secretary General, the Vaad of Russia President Michael Chlenov stated:
"It is hard for me to tell what President Putin is trying to achieve. But Russian Jewry as we are doesn't want to host the kids' murderers. He simply did not take into consideration that millions of our relatives and friends reside in Israel thus it is not the problem of the foreign policy only but as well our own problem. Recently Russia as a "Quartet" member signed the agreement on cooperation with HAMAS denial until they give up the terrorist activities and change their attitude towards Israel. Putin should have counted the opinion of Jewish population of Russia.
There is no difference between Chechen terrorists and HAMAS terrorists. Nevertheless under no circumstances Putin agrees not to negotiate with Chechen terrorists while HAMAS got an invitation to Moscow. All this is a glaring example of double standards. Israel is one of very few countries who never supported Chechen separatists in any way but Russia granted it's recognition to HAMAS.
In attempt to identify the new national ideology Russia rushes back and forth, trying to shield Iran, HAMAS... so we can come to recognition of Ben Laden soon".
