N. Caucasus Islamic leaders can count on Russian government’s support - Medvedev

Sochi, August 28, Interfax - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has pledged full support to Islamic leaders of North Caucasus.

"It is absolutely essential to ensure full support for the Islamic leaders, the muftiat, those who serve in the Caucasus," Medvedev said at a meeting with the North Caucasus muftis and republican leaders in Sochi on Friday.

"Without consolidating the authority of the Islamic leaders we will be unable to deal with the problems that exist here," he said.

"In this matter, you can totally count on the support from Russia's government and head of state," the president told the Islamic spiritual leaders.
