INTERIM CHECHEN ADMINISTRATION'S MOVE TO GROZNY ON HOLD. The
planned move from Gudermes to Grozny of most agencies of the
pro-Russian interim Chechen administration has been postponed
indefinitely, Russian Interior Minister Vladimir Rushailo
told journalists in Gudermes on 30 October. Interim Chechen
administration head Akhmed-hadji Kadyrov had said 10 days
earlier that most agencies would move to Grozny by 1 November
but that he himself would remain in Gudermes (see "RFE/RL
Newsline," 23 October 2000). But Rushailo explained the
postponement in terms of concern for the security in Grozny
of the administration and of Kadyrov personally. Kadyrov said
the restoration of Grozny's official status as Chechen
capital is "a political issue," according to Interfax. LF
