Blind residents of Chechnya can study Koran

For the first time ever, the vision invalids who live in Chechnya have an opportunity to study the Koran. The Republic now has ten copies of the Moslem sacred book with relief-dot typesetting.

"In the near future Grozny will open courses for those blind residents who wish to study the Koran. Recruitment is underway. We have ten copies of Koran with relief-dot typesetting that allows blind people to read it by the Braille method," one of workers of the Spiritual Department of Moslems of Chechnya told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

According to the Republic's Ministry of Public Health, now about fifteen hundred completely blind persons live in Chechnya, and about a thousand more are vision invalids.
