Aspect of the Chechen–Russian conflict

The Chechen genocide was deliberate attempted exterminiation of the Chechen people by Russia since the beginning of the Chechen–Russian conflict in the 19th century. The term has no legal effect, although the European Parliament recognized the 1944 forced deportation of the Chechens, which killed around a third of the total Chechen population, as an act of genocide in 2004.
