Who we are

Our agency was founded in March of 1999 in the city of Jokhar (Grozny). The founder is the
National Center for Strategic Research and Political Technologies, which was !
in turn registered,
with the Ministry of Justice of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria in October of 1998 (N 1377/A-17).
The Kavkaz-Center Internet Agency is oriented to cover events in the Islamic world,
Caucasus and Russia. One of the main tasks of Kavkaz-Center is to cover the events in the
Chechen Republic of Ichkeria (the C.R.I. for short) concerning the Russian military invasion
against the C.R.I.

Pr!
ojects
Our website is an important channel to spread information world wide reflecting the publications of the international press, background, historical and cultural information and documentation about all our projects.
The ultimate goal of the project is to establish an independent news agency on Chechnya which will be able to provide valuable information from the area on a regular basis, and which will be self-financed, i.e. the agency will derive income by selling news to other news agencies.
As the first step in order to achieve the above goal we would like to create an innovative website with a number of features having a regularly updated own content and a compilation of news items coming from elsewhere. The focus will be placed on own content that will be made available on the website in the following ways:

Reports from Chechnya - resulting from daily communications, including !
satellite telephone (through the existing satellite network, and through newly established channels) with various parts of Chechnya, and, in particular, with 'hot' areas where possible.
Video footage from Chechnya by professional team of journalists uploaded on Video/Audio page of the website (once a week or more, if necessary), including interviews, reports and analysis. Discussion forum, including live video conferencing through the website by means of the satellite link with Chechnya (once a week or more, if necessary). Along with actual members of the forum (prominent people from various parts of the world who are not indifferent to the cause) which will be limited to four at a time, audience will be encouraged to ask questions on the subject, to share their opinions, etc.
