MINSK, 25 September (BelTA) - It is inadmissible to use religion against other people, head of the Chechen Republic of the Russian Federation Ramzan Kadyrov said in an interview to BelTA and Belarus One TV channel.

“It is not right when a person uses religion against some system, humankind. It should not be like this,” Ramzan Kadyrov stressed. “They say the Islam says to kill the unfaithful… It explains when it is allowed to fight, protect your land,” he added.

“Those who use religion for clashes between people, use their state policy. Their state policy is to command,” said the head of the Chechen Republic.

Ramzan Kadyrov also talked about military conflicts and humanitarian crises in the world. The head of Chechnya believes that all it is happening largely with the participation of the western forces. “We all know what is going on in Syria. People are killed there. Coalitions are set up. Who supplies them with weapons? The West. It is not a secret. We know where they were trained and who gave them the weapons,” he said.

According to Ramzan Kadyrov, there are certain institutes in the world that are working on a strategy of destroying the entire states. “Libya, Afghanistan (the war of many years, two million people killed), Iraq, Syria, Egypt. Who wanted to do it? For what? Millions of people are suffering. People are dying from hunger in Africa. Where is democracy, where is the UN, the Nato?” Ramzan Kadyrov wondered.

“You would have had the same if not for Alexander Lukashenko. He is a strong person. He pursues his solid policy and the people respect him,” Ramzan Kadyrov stressed.

He added that the policy of sanctions against both Belarus and Russia was used unfairly. In these conditions the head of the Chechen Republic believes that it is important to strengthen brotherly and friendly relations.
