Employees with Chechnyas Trade and Industry Chamber jointly with their colleagues from the Government Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship have frequently stressed that exhibitions and fairs may add significantly to boosting small business in Chechnya.

Thus, an exhibition of Chechen manufacturers and services was recently held in the capital Grozny the third such an event that has been organized in the past three years. The infrastructure-friendly business incubator with the Government Committee became a venue for the exhibition, which had a great success. More than fifty entrepreneurs from around Chechnya took part in the exhibition to showcase their production, including construction materials, timber products and food-stuffs. This time, - says Zarema Chinkhoyeva, spokeswoman for Chechnyas Trade and Industry Chamber, - entrepreneurs showed more zeal to take part in the exhibition as compared with that of last years, realizing that they are bound to benefit from the event.

Chechen history

Chechens (self-assumed name " nokhchi" ) are the world" s most ancient people with unique anthropological type and culture. They are the largest ethnic group in the North Caucasus (more than 1 million people). The neighbouring Ingush people are very similar in genotype, culture and religion. Together they form the Vainakh people related by blood, common history, territorial, economic and cultural links and language. Vainakhs (Chechens, Ingushes) are aborigines of the Caucasus and speak Nakh, a language that belongs to the Iberian-Caucasian language family. The Vainakh (Chechen) ethnic and cultural complex was formed on the basis of various aboriginal people. Historically the Chechen community was formed as multi-ethnic and it kept absorbing ethnic elements of nomadic people and neighbouring high-landers, the evidence of which being the non-Vainakh origin of many Chechen clans. The history of Chechnya can be described as a continuing struggle for freedom and independence against outside enemies, in which periods of prosperity alternated with defeats and new attempts to revive the statehood. In the early Middle Ages (4th-12th centuries) Chechens had to take up arms to defend themselves against invaders from Rome, Sasanid Iran, Arab Caliphate and Khazar Kaganate. The centuries-long struggle forged a military union of highlanders and laid the foundation for their statehood.
