Russian Muslims urge the world community to recognize the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia

The Central Spiritual Directorate of Russian Muslims Federation (TSDUM) appeals to all countries of the world to recognize the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

"We call upon the world community and Islamic world to recognize the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia in the name of peace and stability in the Caucasus", said mufti Talgat Tadzhuddin.

TSDUM (Tsentralnoe Dukhovnoe Upravlenie Musulman) from the very beginning condemned the "treacherous aggression against South Ossetia by the Georgian leadership which unleashed a full-scale war against the South-Ossetian people", and called on regional Muslim spiritual administration to provide support and assistance to all victims of this humanitarian catastrophe. "No one can remain indifferent to the suffering of these people" concluded the mufti. (Vsesmi)
