Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a working meeting with Chechnya\'s President Alu Alkhanov, Prime Minister Sergei Abramov and Deputy Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov that he will sign a decree to set the parliamentary elections in the republic for November 27, 2005. The meeting took place at the Bocharov Ruchei residence in the Black Sea resort of Sochi on Sunday. \"The political situation and social life in the republic today allows us to suggest that you set the date for the elections,\" Alkhanov said. Holding the polls on November 27 \"will make it possible for us to finalize the establishment of all branches of power in the Chechen republic this year, which will help ensure a certain level of political stability and create the environment for the republic\'s economic development,\" he said. \"I very much hope that it will become another step toward a political settlement in the republic, because I think that all political forces whose objective is to revive the republic should be represented and work in parliament,\" Putin said. \"Irrespective of one\'s political preference, regardless of whether people like them [political forces] or not, they all have the right to have their representatives in parliament,\" he said.
