Kadyrov Jr said this in an interview with the YouTube channel On TV.

According to him, Kadyrov Sr. said to the Russian authorities about the need for a national referendum on this issue.

“No, I have to ask this of my people. When we hold a referendum, if my people vote for this paper, they say that ... we are part of the territory of Russia, we want to live as part of Russia, then I will sign the paper, ”Kadyrov Jr. quotes his father.

In March, Kadyrov spoke about the help of former President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev to Chechnya.
