Al Jazeera reports on Chechnya are obviously made to order and aimed at poisoning the atmosphere of Russian-Arab relations, the Russian Foreign Ministry\'s information and press department said in a statement received by Interfax on Thursday. \"The channel has been regularly broadcasting reports of this kind in recent days. We have to say that these reports distort the actual state of affairs in the Chechen Republic and ignore consistent efforts of federal and local authorities to rebuild the economy and achieve public and political normalization,\" the statement says.
