new name for chechnya

so people of chechnya want to change their country's name to nokchiyn. apparently the russian screwed it up back in history, around 19th century, when their colonist troops came there.

same story with grozny, which got a name by russian emperor ivan. seems thay dislike being connected with the word terrible.

they called local people chechens. hence the present name of the country.
"if one proceeds from the name of the people, then we are nokhchi, an then, of course, should have been a different name here", said the president.

i personally think about chechens as terrorists, and take the russian side there. also, i think they have bigger problems than name of the country. how 'bout that?
