text: From their website: â€œKavkaz Center is Chechen independent international Islamic Internet news agency. 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). 
  
  â€œThe Kavkaz Center Internet News 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. Besides this public Internet web page we also provide international news agencies with news-letters, background information and assistance in making independent journalistic work in Caucasus.
  
  â€œKavkaz Center is a private independent news agency. It does not reflect viewpoints of any states, governmental structures or the Chechen government. Along with that, the Kavkaz Center Agency has set the goal to cover the real events in Ichkeria under the conditions of total informational blockade, and bring to the world community the truthful information about the war, war crimes, the facts of genocide of the whole nation by the invading state and the position of the defending side - the Chechen Mujahideen. 
  
  â€œOur Agency is planning to further expand its activities in order to form an informational corporation and organize additional informational structures.â€
