NormanH Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Did I miss the bit in the article that says that it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Well, the Independent correctly positions the article as "Europe" . I guess, regardless of any semantic argument about whether Russia is truly European, the fact that the incident discussed took place in France would place the news as being EU related.

Pickles Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 [quote user="NormanH"]I am more concerned with the fact that it is in Béziers which is in Europe and home to me...[:-))][/quote]I wonder by what right they were in France in the first place ... or would that be on the grounds of asylum for being oppressed and in fear of their lives?

NormanH Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Wiki says:As of early 2008, about 10,000 Chechens live in France. The largest Chechen communities in France exist in Nice (where there were reports of sharp conflict with the immigrants from North Africa[16]), Strasbourg and Paris (the home of the Chechen-French Center). Chechens also live in Orléans, Le Mans, Besançon, Montpelier, Toulouse and Tours. As of 2008, thousands more are trying to get to France from PolandThe obvious problem is that they may well have a good case for asylum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
