1726 foreigners have been registered in Chechnya during the five months of this year, while in the whole of 2009 there were only 2024. 70% of them come from Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, the rest are from China, Vietnam, Slovenia, Yuga.ru reports.
"The latter come with guest visas or with employment agreements. Of course, the growth of migration is due to the development of all spheres of life in the republic" - the head of the migration department of Chechnya Asu Dudurkayev said.Over 380 violations of the migration law have been registered in the republic during the first four months of this year, he pointed out. The cases of 44 migrants have come up before the courts, 13 people have been deported from Chechnya. The most common violation of migrants from CIS countries is the absence of registration. Often it is the employers themselves who are breaking the migration law and preventing their employees from registration to avoid their responsibilities.
