On Tuesday President of South Ossetia Alan Gagloev visited the grave of the first President of the Chechen Republic, hero of Russia Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov, the press service on the official website of the head of the South Ossetian state reports.
Alan Gagloev was met by the Chairman of the Council of Alims of the North Caucasus, the elder of the Kadyrov family Khozh-Akhmed Kadyrov.
The President has noted that in fact, at the same time, the Ossetian and Chechen peoples went through difficulties.
“But even today we see the value of the heritage that Akhmat-Khadji Kadyrov left behind. Now Ramzan Akhmatovich continues his father's work. Not only residents of the Chechen Republic, but the entire Caucasus are closely following the development of your republic, because we cannot imagine our future in isolation from each other. All the peoples of the Caucasus should be together and remember that we have one common history and we need mutual understanding,” he said.
Alim Khozh-Akhmed Kadyrov thanked the President. He has noted that the peoples of the Caucasus have preserved the memory and respect for Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov.
“I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Together with the fraternal Ossetian people, in the same cradle, we experienced joy, sorrow, and wars together. We went through everything, strengthening the friendship between our peoples.
I remembered a proverb from our ethnic group, which says: "If a person after his death is respected even more than when he was in power, then this person was in fact in his place." At the grave of Akhmat-Khadzhi, I had to see presidents, governors, heads of republics who come here to express respect to our leader, and therefore to our people," Khozh-Akhmed Kadyrov said.
According to him, in reality, the successor of Akhmat-Khadzhi - Ramzan Kadyrov - made the fairy tale come true, "he not only restored the republic, but also restored the relations between the peoples who live in the Great Russia."
