Refugee Eskerkhanov, admitted to homosexuality, apologized to the "leadership of Chechnya"

Emigrant Movsar Eskerkhanov, who was living in Germany, who at the end of September, was the first of the natives of Chechnya in homosexuality, made an apology before the "leadership of Chechnya." This was reported by the BBC with reference to the announcement of the plot of the Grozny GRC, published on the Instagram of the television channel.

Eskerkhanov accused Time journalists, who released the article with his recognition, of his intention to discredit Chechens. According to the emigrant, he invited the journalists, as they promised him to help with receiving asylum in Germany, but the journalists did not fulfill their promise.

“They disgraced me in front of the Chechen people and the Chechen ruler, they set me up,” Eskerkhanov said. “Therefore, I apologize among residents of Chechnya, the leadership of Chechnya, Chechens living in the North Caucasus and Europe.”

In his defense, the emigrant said that at the time of meeting with reporters he took drugs for epilepsy. Now, Eskerkhanov assured, he is recovering.

The publication of Time was accompanied by a video in which Eskerkhanov talked about his life in Chechnya and in exile. The Chechen left for Germany back in 2013, but he was repeatedly refused asylum.

“The voice constantly gave out who I am,” Eskerkhanov explained the motives of emigration. “The word“ gay ”for the Chechen means“ animal ”, because for them it is not a person. If gay, he has neither the future, nor the present, nor the past. 28 years old, I suffered silently, accepted these threats. I do not want to hide my face, let the whole world see my face.”

The emigrant urged homosexuals not to be afraid to be himself.

On November 4, the Grozny Grozny Groza released a plot about Eskerkhanov, meeting with the emigrant family living in Achha-Martan. It claimed that the refugee "launched the world" of the foster parents, selling their house and apartment. Emigrant’s sister said: "Now, if he got off the way, we do not need him."

The same plot entered the psychotherapist’s comment, who stated that Eskerkhanov, "most likely, psychopath." In support of his withdrawal, the doctor referred to the video published by the emigrant, in which he in aggressive form promises to take revenge on the offenders, because of which he had to leave Chechnya.

In Europe, the director of the German-Caucasian Society Eckehard Mas provides assistance to the emigrant. In a conversation with the BBC, he said that some time ago a stranger came to him, who, having called a journalist from Chechnya, asked Eskerkhanov’s contacts. “I'm not sure that Movsar wants to do something for Chechen television,” Mas said. He refused to give contacts of the emigrant, but he promised to transfer the request for the meeting to Eskerkhanov. “I did not know that they met,” the social activist concluded.
