LEADER OF CHECHEN MUJAHEDINS PROMISES TO HELP AZERBAIJAN IN LIBERATION OF KARABAKH

06.10.2000, MEDIAMAX, YEREVAN. “We want to assure the Azerbaijani President and the Azeri people that we entirely support your fair fight for your national independent and territorial integrity,” the letter by the leader of Chechen mujahedins Shamil Basayev to the Azeri President Heydar Aliyev reads. The latter was published in “Kavkaz-Center” Internet site.
“We are seriously intended to help the muslim Azerbaijan after inflicting an utter defeat on the Russian aggressor. We have no doubts that that day will come soon,” Shamil Basayev writes.
In mid 1999, yet before the invasion of Dagestan, one of the main ideologists of chechens Movladi Udugov said in his interview to MEDIAMAX: “After Dagestan’s liberation the Islamic military groups intend to liberate Karabakh from Armenians.” –0–
