The Chechens in France is a small diaspora in France. However, it's one of the most important Chechen diaspora.
History
The Chechens immigrants came in France at the early 2000s, because of the two Chechen Wars. They came as political refugees.[2] Today, there is approximatively 30 000 Chechens in France, and 60 000 in the European Union.
