In Karachay-Cherkessia, religious extremists are trying to “squeeze out traditional Islam,” the FSB believes
The head of the FSB for Karachay-Cherkessia, Valery Ostrovetsky, said that the issue of the armed underground in the republic has been removed. According to V. Ostrovetsky, there are no "jamaats" in the region either, but "there are groups formed on the basis of religious extremism." "Some people allow themselves to give lectures to young people in mosques, they are trying to squeeze out traditional Islam," the head of the FSB explained.
