Shamil Basaev About Armenians / Øàìèë Áàñàåâ ïðî Àðìÿí
As you know while Azerbaijan had 3 times more people with much better military equipment when they attacked Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) they aslo had several thousands of Mujahedins from various countries including Chechnya.
In 1995, a Russian journalist asked Shamil Basayev, “Where have you faced defeat?”
He replied, “In 1994, I saw defeat in Martakert, and then suffered an even bigger loss in Fizuli at the hands of the Dashnaks .” Basayev said, “If I’d had twenty boys like the Dashnaks, I would’ve conquered the whole of Russia.”
Shamil Basayev left the war and said, “These people are fighting with belief in their territories, while those on my side do not believe that this land belongs to them. The land is running out from under them.”
