Some 10-15 law enforcers are on duty at the district administration building, said a resident of the Terekli-Mekteb village – the administrative centre of the Nogai District.
A source from the press service of the Dagestani MIA said that any forced seizure of power in the district is out of question. According to his version, everything should be solved by legal methods.
Rasul Kadiev, a lawyer, believes that to occupy the office of the district head, Yarlykapov had to appeal against the deputies' decision in court. He has noted that in this situation law enforcers should ensure the public order.
