The speaker of the Chechen parliament recalled the houses that were not returned to the Chechens and Ingush upon their return from exile.

 

Speaking the day before at a mourning event dedicated to the 79th anniversary of the forced eviction of the Chechen and Ingush peoples, which took place
in the Chechen village of Aukh in Dagestan, Chairman of the Chechen Parliament Magomed Daudov recalled that for thousands of Chechens and Ingush, the exile did not end even after 79 years.
We are talking about the territories transferred to the neighboring republics during the abolition of the Chechen ASSR in 1944.
Aukhovsky district - the abode of Chechens-Akins - was annexed to Dagestan, and the original Ingush Prigorodny district - to North Ossetia, however, both districts were not returned after the restoration of the Chechen ASSR in 1957,
nor after the adoption in April 1991 by the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR of the "Law on the rehabilitation of repressed peoples." Although the Law provided for the recognition and exercise of the right of repressed peoples to restore their territorial integrity and regulated the procedure for compensation for damage.

Moreover, in the years since the adoption of the Law, programs with colossal budgets have been financed from Moscow for the resettlement of those who occupied the houses of the deported Ingush and Chechens, so that the owners of these dwellings could return to them.
In Dagestan, more than ten years ago, several new settlements were built with infrastructure for Dagestanis who occupy the homes of Akkin Chechens; in North Ossetia, many federal programs were also implemented to return Ingush refugees, many of which in 1992, in during the Ossetian-Ingush conflict, for the second time they were expelled from their homes. But these problems have not been solved so far.

Daudov addressed "those who still live in their [Chechens and Ingush] father's houses, who call themselves Muslims, also non-Muslims: are you not afraid of the wrath of the Almighty?
  - On the Day of Judgment, when you will be told "Did you use the fruits of the Muslims, your brothers in faith, their lands, their gardens?" - what will you answer? - asked the Chechen speaker.
He noted that "the Chechens and Ingush demand only the implementation of the Law and their constitutional rights."
