March 3, 2005 - (Interfax) No negotiations should be held with Chechen guerillas, says a resolution released by a conference entitled Women for Peace and Stability in the Chechen Republic.

The conference, organized by the Women's Dialog organization, took place in Grozny on Thursday.

"Russian and international public organizations should stop raising the issue of resuming talks with representatives of illegal armed groups and the so-called 'legitimate' administration of Ichkeria," the resolution says.

Public and political organizations, movements and parties should unite their efforts for the reconstruction and improvement of the humanitarian situation in the republic and step up their cooperation with the Chechen leadership, it says.

The resolution suggests "developing and adopting a comprehensive program for supporting family, maternity and childhood," creating a Mother and Child Social Rehabilitation Center in Grozny, and providing for "the revival of a nationally-oriented economy, creating jobs and developing national culture and folklore."
