That's a very rare transliteration scheme.

The 'short-i' or is usually converted to an 'i' or 'y', depending if it's located next to 'long-i' or not. Otherwise takes the 'y' form.

The generally translits into 'kh', the usually is converted into a 'ts', and the letter into 'shch'.

I've seen this scheme used by Germans - over there the 'j' is often silent (Jurassic over there is pronounced 'Yourassic'), and they use 'sch' interchangably for and .

There's a lot of Turks in Germany, and he references Turkey. I wonder if he hides among that group.

Udugov was living in Turkey for many years and Russia was trying to have him extradited. Finally Turkey said he was not there anymore.

Actually, I wasn't aware of a "transliteration scheme". I don't transliterate consistently, for example. For the russian X sometime I use "h" and sometimes I just us "x"...
