Chechen President Alu Alkhanov said the upcoming Chechen parliamentary elections will be the largest and most democratic in the history of Chechnya and that former militants who did not stain themselves with blood will have the right to run. \"I\'m sure the Chechen parliamentary elections, set for November 27, 2005, will be recognized by the whole of Chechen society,\" Alkhanov told Interfax from Chechnya on Sunday. The Chechen leadership \"has clearly defined its objectives and will give every law-abiding citizen who recognizes the Constitution of Russia and Chechnya and who is ready to work for the benefit of the Homeland, the right to take part in the elections,\' Alkhanov said. \"If a candidate is not a prisoner, and if he musters a sufficient number of votes, he will become a parliamentary deputy. This policy is understood and supported by all residents of Chechnya,\" he said. \"According to our sources, former members of the old Chechen (Ichkerian) parliament and people who held various posts in the Maskhadov and Dudayev separatist governments will run. Our people know who deserves support and with whom they can entrust their future,\" Alkhanov said. \"We will not intervene, we want the elections to proceed in strict accordance with the law. We are open and prepared to receive observers from any international organization,\" he said. \"Those who were influenced by false ideas and joined illegal armed groups, but returned to peaceful life having not committed crimes, those whose loyalty is not doubted by law enforcement agencies, will have the right to run for parliament,\" the Chechen president said.
