I saw it with my own eyes. 32 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000 On May 1, 2004, speaking in front of the most famous people, Akhmad Haji said, 33 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000 that the time has come when each of us must make his particular choice. 34 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,000 Today I repeat the words of Akhmad Haji - it's time to make an informed choice. 35 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000 And we say to the entire world that we are combat infantry of Vladimir Putin. 36 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000 If we receive an order, we will actually prove that this is so. 37 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000 For fifteen years Putin is helping our people. 38 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Now, you and I -

Vladimir Putin. 46 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000 The Chechen people takes one of the central places in this unity. 47 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000 We have chosen the path of Akhmad Haji, 48 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000 he firmly stood on the way of the Messenger of Allah. 49 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000 Haji Ahmad said that he is ready to submit, if there is a person who proves 50 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,000 that he made even a single step that goes against the Quran. 51 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000 Such a person has not yet been found. 52 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:07,000 Therefore, I firmly believe that you and I are on the path of Allah and His Messenger. 53 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000 We will never deviate from this path. 54 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000 Starting today, each of us must be ready at any moment to prove 55 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000 their dedication to the cause of our lives. 56 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000 We will meet Russia's enemy wherever he may be, in its own lair. 57 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000 We publicly declare this to the whole world, so that it is clear and understandable to everyone -
