Parliament of the Chechen Republic

The Parliament of the Chechen Republic (Russian: Парламент Чеченской Республики, romanized: Parlament Chechenskoy Respubliki; Chechen: Нохчийн Республикан Парламент, romanized: Noxçiyn Respublikan Parlament) is the regional parliament of Chechnya, a federal subject of Russia.

[3] The modern Chechen parliament was established in 2003 after the Constitution of Chechnya was approved in a referendum.

In Autumn 1995, the pro-Russian Chechen administration led by Doku Zavgaev convened the body with most of the deputies of the old.

The chairmen of two of its chambers gathered at Moscow with the remaining deputies and created the so-called Chechen State Council, headed by businessman Malik Saidullayev.

This initiative, however, was not supported by the Russian leadership, which chose to re-create the local administration.
