The Bush administration has decided to delay the start of Chechen language radio broadcast programs to the North Caucasus, the State Department said on Wednesday.
State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said the U.S. government-run Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty had been planning to start Chechen language broadcasts to the region but they now will be delayed at request of the State Department.
"As we have noted before, these areas are already quite well-served in the Russian language, and we have felt that perhaps broadcasts in these local languages could be counterproductive to the overall effort to get a dialogue started in Chechnya, to try to help move that situation towards a political solution," Boucher said.
