On May 8, 2007, International Anti-imperialistic Front (IAF) was instituted in Ternopol, Ukraine, on the initiative of International Movement for Decolonization of the Caucasus (IMDC) under the leadership of Ahmad Sardali, and All-Ukrainian Organization "Trident" of Stepan Bandera under the leadership of Dmitro Yarosh (see photo).The main tasks of the IAF are:
„ideological, political and information struggle against variouis imperialistic doctrines, first of all - against the Moscow one;
support of national-liberating movements of the enslaved peoples of the Caucasus and other territories occupied by Moscow;
attainment of recognizing crimes of the Russian Empire and its genocide of the colonized peoples on international level.
Unfortunately, Embassy of the Republic of Ukraine in France rejected entry visa to Chechen refugee and known journalist Khazman Umarova, possibly under a pressure of the third side. Ahmad Sardali himself, as well as other known Chechen activists were prevented from coming too.
The constituent conference received a telegram of Dokka Umarov, President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria and leader of Caucasian Mojaheds. President Dokka Umarov greeted the conference and expressed his hope that the IAF would become an effective force against neo-imperialist plans of Moscow.
Dmitro Yarosh read message of Ahmad Sardali.
Hakan Baysal, a representative of the refugees from Kabarda-Balkaris from Turkey, spoke about a necessity of mutial support in uniting struggle.
During discussions Igor Ivanchenko ("Trident") underlined inter-religious character of the IAF, however Letas Palmaitis (IMDC Lithuania) emphasized that the IAF may be founded only on the basis of revealed moral prescriptions, common for all three Abrahamic religions, while theological groundings of these religions cannot be leveled or unified in any case. As a result, the "inter-religious character" of IAF appears to be inadequate.
A press-conference took place under the session.
