Villagers demanded at a meeting on Friday that ethnic Chechens who were found responsible for the clashes with ethnic Kalmyks in the village of Yandyki in the Russian region of Astrakhan be evicted from Yandyki, regional governor Konstantin Markelov said. But \"we will act strictly within the limits of the law\" as regards possible evictions, Markelov told Interfax. Markelov said that grievances against local police were also voiced at the meeting, which brought together residents of Yandyki, as well as those of three nearby villages and the town of Lagani, in the neighboring Russian region of Kalmykia.
