Since the beginning of the 1990-ies 300 Chechen soldiers have fought against Nagorno Karabakh at the Azeri side, documentary materials presented in “Karabakh Drama: Secret Actions” – the monograph of Caucasian Media-Institute expert Hayk Demoian – testify. As reported by Arminfo agency according to the author of the monograph, the enlisting of the Chechen soldiers was made in correspondence to the agreement signed between Azerbaijan and Chechnya, due to which the Chechen leadership engaged to provide Azerbaijan with its soldiers in exchange for arms and ammunition. However, incurring serious causalities the Chechen soldiers left the Karabakh front soon. The following defeats of the Azeri army forced official Baku to appeal to the Afghanistani government with a request to provide the Azeri army with soldiers. Hayk Demoian’s monograph also maintains the memoirs of US journalist Tomas Golts, who noted that the former service men of the US special troops participating in “Iran-Contras” operations sent soldiers to Azerbaijan and conducted the training of Azeri pilots. However, after the US FBI revealed the ties of Azerbaijan with the initiators of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, the assistance broke off.
