Kadyrov: France is to blame for the tragedy, because it raised the attacker

The leader of the Russian republic of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that France bears responsibility for last night's knife attack in Paris by a man born in Chechnya.

Ramzan Kadyrov said that he was informed that the suspect in the attack had obtained French citizenship, and that he had a Russian passport until he was 14, writes Tanjug.

An attacker killed a man and wounded four people with a knife in the center of Paris last night, after which the police killed him.

The suspect, who was killed by the French police, was identified as Hasan Azimov, while French media reported that his name was Hamzat, reports AP.

"I consider it necessary to say that all responsibility for the fact that Hasan Azimov went down the path of crime lies entirely with the French authorities. He was only born in Chechnya, and his upbringing, formation as a personality, formation of attitudes and convictions took place in French society ", said Kadyrov.
