Kadyrov Pledges Chechen support to the Russian Federation

  • 2:57 - 2:58
    Olya, what can I add, greetings!
  • 2:59 - 3:05
    Indeed, today there were more than 10,000 people at the Biliimhanov’s stadium in Grozny.
  • 3:06 - 3:11
    Most of them were representatives of law enforcement agencies of the Chechen Republic plus some civilians.
  • 3:12 - 3:16
    The stadium was full of people, every seat was occupied.
  • 3:17 - 3:19
    In addition, some of the officers lined up on running tracks.
  • 3:20 - 3:25
    Thus, the full count was more than 10,000, because the stadium’s capacity is exactly 10,000.
  • 3:26 - 3:29
    Ramzan Kadyrov addressed the crowd with a speech,
  • 3:30 - 3:34
    which was directed not only to them, but to all the peoples of Russia.
  • 3:35 - 3:37
    In his speech the head of the Republic reminded of the threat of terrorism,
  • 3:38 - 3:41
    which hangs today not only on Russia, but also the entire world.
  • 3:42 - 3:48
    Also the head of the Republic expressed the full readiness to support the fight against terrorism in Russia and the world
  • 3:49 - 3:53
    and protect the interests of the Russian Federation at any point on the globe.
  • 3:54 - 3:56
    I suggest to listen to an excerpt from his speech.
  • 3:57 - 4:02
    For many years with arms in hands, we fought against international terrorism and defeated it.
  • 4:03 - 4:07
    But the threat of terrorism in Russia has not yet disappeared.
  • 4:08 - 4:11
    I am sure that you are not indifferent to the fate of our Fatherland.
  • 4:12 - 4:14
    We remember the days when enemies surrounded Chechnya from all sides,
  • 4:15 - 4:19
    but there was not a single friend who was ready to stand up for the Chechen people.
  • 4:20 - 4:24
    This role was assumed not by a soldier, not by a politician, not by a general.
  • 4:25 - 4:30
    The mufti and the religious leader of Chechnya Akhmad Haji Kadyrov stood up to protect the people and the integrity of Russia.
  • 4:31 - 4:35
    He had no army, weapons and money, but he had the Holy Quran in his hands.
  • 4:36 - 4:41
    A formidable weapon for him were courage, fairness and faith in his rightness.
  • 4:42 - 4:45
    You could say the whole world was against Akhmad Haji.
  • 4:46 - 4:50
    Vladimir Putin was first who believed him, supported and held out a hand of friendship and assistance.
  • 4:51 - 4:53
    It was not easy to do.
  • 4:54 - 4:57
    Russian President had to prove to the politicians, the military and all the people,
  • 4:58 - 5:03
    that only Akhmad Haji will reassemble the torn apart Chechen people,
  • 5:04 - 5:10
    restore peace and stability and deal with international terrorism, trying to destroy the country.
  • 5:11 - 5:13
    In the most difficult moment, when there were no solutions to complex problems,
  • 5:14 - 5:20
    when the question arose for our people to be or not to be, Ahmad Haji appealed to Vladimir Putin
  • 5:21 - 5:25
    and not a single time he was refused - I saw it with my own eyes.
  • 5:26 - 5:31
    On May 1, 2004, speaking in front of the most famous people, Akhmad Haji said,
  • 5:32 - 5:36
    that the time has come when each of us must make his particular choice.
  • 5:37 - 5:41
    Today I repeat the words of Akhmad Haji - it's time to make an informed choice.
  • 5:42 - 5:46
    And we say to the entire world that we are combat infantry of Vladimir Putin.
  • 5:47 - 5:51
    If we receive an order, we will actually prove that this is so.
  • 5:52 - 5:55
    For fifteen years Putin is helping our people.
  • 5:56 - 6:00
    Now, you and I - and we have tens of thousands of people, specially trained -
  • 6:01 - 6:05
    ask the national leader of Russia to consider us a special voluntary unit of the Commander in Chief,
  • 6:06 - 6:11
    ready to defend Russia and the stability of its borders, accomplish a combat mission of any complexity.
  • 6:12 - 6:17
    We fully realize that the country has a regular army, air force, navy and nuclear forces.
  • 6:18 - 6:23
    However, there are tasks that can be solved only by volunteers, and we'll solve them.
  • 6:24 - 6:27
    America, Europe have declared an economic war on Russia.
  • 6:28 - 6:31
    They are trying to cause chaos in the country, panic, riots.
  • 6:32 - 6:35
    But the Russian people have united around their leader - Vladimir Putin.
  • 6:36 - 6:39
    The Chechen people takes one of the central places in this unity.
  • 6:40 - 6:42
    We have chosen the path of Akhmad Haji,
  • 6:43 - 6:47
    he firmly stood on the way of the Messenger of Allah.
  • 6:48 - 6:51
    Haji Ahmad said that he is ready to submit, if there is a person who proves
  • 6:52 - 6:57
    that he made even a single step that goes against the Quran.
  • 6:58 - 7:00
    Such a person has not yet been found.
  • 7:01 - 7:07
    Therefore, I firmly believe that you and I are on the path of Allah and His Messenger.
  • 7:08 - 7:10
    We will never deviate from this path.
  • 7:11 - 7:14
    Starting today, each of us must be ready at any moment to prove
  • 7:15 - 7:18
    their dedication to the cause of our lives.
  • 7:19 - 7:22
    We will meet Russia's enemy wherever he may be, in its own lair.
  • 7:23 - 7:27
    We publicly declare this to the whole world, so that it is clear and understandable to everyone -
  • 7:28 - 7:32
    Long live our great motherland Russia!
  • 7:33 - 7:35
    Long live our national leader of Russia Vladimir Putin!
  • 7:36 - 7:46
    Allahu Akbar!
  • 7:47 - 7:54
    Kadyrov: Really, today everyone was instructed that they are going to perform a combat order of the Commander in Chief.
  • 7:55 - 8:05
    Not a man, but a few, knew that actually they will not be sent today.
  • 8:06 - 8:09
    In fact, they were ready.
  • 8:10 - 8:14
    Backpacks, knapsacks, sleeping bags - everything was ready.
  • 8:15 - 8:17
    They came to complete the task.
  • 8:18 - 8:19
    - And where exactly they can be sent?
  • 8:20 - 8:23
    Well, the Commander in Chief decides this.
  • 8:24 - 8:29
    We looked at how we are ready to perform the tasks set.
  • 8:30 - 8:34
    I think we are happy to fulfill any order.
  • 8:35 - 8:42
    We are ready to move to any location in the world where our President tells us.
  • 8:43 - 8:46
    I have no doubt that we will not let him down.
  • 8:47 - 8:49
    We will execute any order, 100%.
  • 8:50 - 8:52
    - Ramzan Akhmatovich, have all these people written reports of resignation?
  • 8:53 - 9:05
    Kadyrov: All these people wrote in their reports that they are willing to comply with the order of the Commander in Chief
  • 9:06 - 9:10
    voluntarily and anywhere in the world.
