The newspaper writes: "French officials, desiring to protect the Chechens residing in their country, are secretly visiting Turkey in order to investigate three cases of murders of the Chechens. Currently information is being exchanged between the Turkish and the French officials.
Mysterious murders of the Chechens in Istanbul alarmed not only the Turkish Secret Services but also the French ones. A few days ago, a French delegation has secretly come to Turkey to obtain information about the murder cases of the Chechens.
The delegation met with the prosecutors and the intelligence service. According to some sources, earlier the French intelligence units received information about the assassination plans, which included using small arms and explosives, of the Chechen leaders in France.
The French intelligence services believe that assassinations are planned by the Russian Secret Service (FSB).
The French Secret Service has already moved some of the Chechen leaders living in France to other locations and changed their IDs .
The French anti-terror police is monitoring closely and is giving protection to the Chechen leaders as well as to their families living in the country. Having managed their affairs with the Chechens at home the Frenchmen then arrived in Ankara and in Istanbul.
They secretly entered and exited from the local airport and met with the representatives of the Turkish Ministry of Justice and the National Intelligence Organization (MIT).
The Liaison Judge Philippe Dorcet from the French delegation, told "Sabah" newspaper the following:
"We have got information from our secret police DGSE that assassinations of the Chechens would be carried out in France. We are doing a very secret investigation in this direction.
We have some of the Chechen leaders in our country. Murders of the Chechen which occurred one after the other in Turkey have attracted our attention. We think that murders in Turkey are connected.
We have established a special intelligence team for the Chechens living in France. We are currently thoroughly exploring the possibilities of the Russian trace on the basis of the intelligence that we have.
France is a big country. We do not want political murders in our country with the traces of foreign secret services. The Chechens murdered in Turkey and the ones currently residing in France have one thing in common - during one period of time they were all opposing Russia.
Istanbul Deputy Chief Prosecutor Turan Cholakkadi, also present at the meeting with the French delegation, said that murders of the Chechens are not related to the organized crime.
In the meantime it is being reported that the MIT has already prepared a report on the three Chechen murder cases. In this report it is stated that Ghazi Edilsultanov, Islam Janibekov and Ali Osayev (all assassinated in Turkey) participated in the resistance against Russian aggression in Chechnya.
The report also indicates that most of the Chechen groups have entered Turkey illegally, but that they are not perpetrating any crimes.
Connection of the Russian Secret Service has been already established to several assassinations commited abroad. The poisoning of Aleksandr Litvinenko, the former KGB agent and Putin's critic, in London in 2006 and the killing of Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev, the former president of Chechnya in Qatar in 2004.
Russian agents also tried organizing assassination of the businessman Boris Berezovsky currently residing in England as a refugee", writes the Turkish newspaper "Sabah"
