Grozny â€“APA. Chechen president Ramzan Kadirov offered to Chechen expatriate in Britain Ahmad Zakayev to take office in the Chechnyaâ€™s Ministry of Culture. Reminding about the Zakayevâ€™s footlights experience, Kadirov said he could play great roles on stage of Grozny Theater, APA reports. â€œI can offer him a job in the Ministry of Culture. Zakayev called me once and expressed his wish to return to the country. Ahmad is very nice and well-educated actor. There are few men in Chechnya after the war. I think every Chechen man is very valuable for usâ€. Kadirov guarantees Zakayevâ€™s security and promised to provide him with a job by returning home. Last month Russian Federal Security Service accused Zakayevâ€™s supporters in establishing of illegal armed formations. Following this accusation Kadirov supported Zakayev and said that he was not involved in any terrorist activity.

Russia demanded for his extradition for many times, but failed.
