Russian presidential aide Sergei Yastrzhembskii and Duma Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Dmitrii Rogozin have both made clear their displeasure with the resolution on human rights violations in Chechnya submitted by the EU to the UN Commission on Human Rights on 8 April. Yastrzhembskii told Interfax that the 23 March constitutional referendum in Chechnya has induced \"hysteria\" among Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe deputies. Rogozin said it is \"absolutely unreasonable\" for the UN to focus on Chechnya after it refused to debate human rights violations in Iraq. Chechen administration head Akhmed-hadji Kadyrov similarly noted that the EU should focus on Iraq and the destruction of monuments there. Kadyrov added that it is inappropriate for EU representatives to formulate resolutions on the human rights situation in Chechnya on the basis of impressions received during visits that last only a couple of days.
