aktarian, Chechnya and these countries you sited to have nothing the same.
The power in Chechnya in 90s was captured by a set (less than 10.000 iirc, i.e. less than 1% of all population of Chechnya) of armed rebels, and they didn't ask peaceful people, how they want to live, independently, or as a part of Russia. Then Russian forces overthrow rebels, they held a referendum, where overwhelming majority of Chechens said that they want to live as a part of Russia.
