Maskhadov’s Last Message

Abstract

Ilyas, my greetings to you and our comrades who are there. The president of the Chechen People Maskhadov is talking to you. I have not heard from you for quite a while. I don’t remember when you and I talked last. In the cassette that I sent you earlier, I told you that the position of the minister of foreign affairs is a high position, the more so, in a country that is at war. It is a position of great importance! It seems to me that you have not realized that yet. You would have understood it, if you were here, stayed in some cave. If you thought of it, and laid on the scales the military situation, the political situation, the diplomatic situation, the internal situation here. If you thought of it. But it seems to me that you have not thought of it yet. It is impossible to imagine a more undisciplined minister in this world, you lack so much discipline.

Assalamu-alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa barakatuh!
