Grozny - A woman in Chechnya, Russia, claimed to be the world's oldest woman at 128 years old. By her 129th birthday on June 1, a woman named Koku Istambulova admits regretting that she has lived beyond a century.

She was 55 years old when World War II ended in 1945, and 102 years when the Soviet Union collapsed in December 1991.

Istambulova said she did not exercise or diet to maintain longevity, in addition to avoiding meat. "I often see people doing something to live long. I do not understand how I got longevity.

Perhaps it is God's will, "said Istambulova, saying she was very unhappy with her age that would reach 129 years, and admitted very tired."
