    Russia Accuses Azerbaijan, Georgia Of Abetting Transfer Of Funds To
    North Caucasus Resistance

    May 04, 2009


    Three days after the Georgian Foreign Ministry rejected as unfounded
    Russian allegations that Chechen militants are again using Georgian
    territory as a base from which to launch acts of terrorism in
    Chechnya, Russian Prosecutor-General Yury Chaika on April 30 accused
    both Georgia and Azerbaijan of failing to take effective measures to
    curtail the flow of funds to the North Caucasus resistance.

    In his annual report on law and order in Russia in 2008, Chaika
    alleged that in most cases the cash is transferred from sponsors
    abroad by couriers who enter the Russian Federation via Azerbaijan or
    Georgia, if necessary bribing Russian border guards.

    Georgian Foreign Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili immediately
    responded that his ministry does not know of a single such case, and
    has received no official communication from the Federal Border Service
    that couriers have been intercepted.

    In Baku, Eldar Sultanov, who heads the press service of the
    Azerbaijani Prosecutor-General's Office, was quoted by the online
    daily zerkalo.az on May 1 as saying that the office has received no
    formal notification of any such cases from its Russian counterpart.
    For that reason, he declined to comment on Chaika's statement.
