KHANKALA. Sept 9 (Interfax-AVN) - Anatoly Kvashnin, chief of the Armed Forces General Staff, is on a visit to Chechnya for the second day in a row.
"The chief-of-staff has received a report from the unified federal group's commander Colonel General Vladimir Moltenskoi. Among other issues, the sides discussed ways to protect the state and administrative border at the Chechen section in Karachayevo- Cherkessia and Kabardino-Balkaria," a source in the unified federal headquarters told Interfax-Military News Agency on Monday.
In the near future Kvashnin will take part in a session of the regional operational headquarters on Chechnya campaign.
The Kvashnin arrival in Chechnya is caused by the fact that guerillas stepped up their activities on the territory and the need to take urgent measures to stabilize the situation in the breakaway republic, the source said.
On September 6 a Land Forces Command commission led by the forces' chief-of-staff Colonel General Alexander Morozov started a wide-scale inspection in Chechnya.
