Who can be more valubale than those who spent their lives for a cause, paid a price, gave their lives?… Especially, if this cause is for a nation’s freedom and existence struggle…
Medet Unlu was someone like this.
He was one of the symbolic names of freedom of the Chechen people and Caucasus nations…
When the Chechen resistance was very active, we were evaluating the news with him. We were taking the correct news from him, and we were understanding the details about the war from his eyes.
Whatever happened in Chechnya or the Caucasus, we would call him first. He was a kind of filter on the information pollution.
He was a fighting man. He never stepped back. He was there, when the Chechen cause was popular, but he was still there when everybody kept silent.
At the same time, he was a sincere man for Turkey. He was one of the knowledgable men, the intellects.
One man came to his office, rang the bell, and fired his bullets into Medet Unlu.
This attack is the latest of ongoing systematic assasinations against Chechens in Turkey.
Earlier, Islam Dzhanibekov, Edilsultanov and Ali Osaev were assassinated in Istanbul in a similar way.
Some of them were very professional.
A new unsolved assassination is added to this list.
Kadyrov or Russian intelligence, I don’t know…
But one thing is clear; someone is giving permission for these assassinations.
The conservative society in Turkey knew Medet Unlu very well and appreciated him. Today, most of those who rule Turkey, met with him somewhere at least once.
The Prime Minister and a lot of names in the cabinet of ministers are included in this list. Writers and knowledgable men are included in this list. Many of those who are sensitive on the Chechnya issue are on this list.
The deceased Necmettin Erbakan (former Turkish prime minister) was consulting with Medet Unlu on the Chechen issue.
In fact, Medet Unlu was a custodian of the legendary Dzhokhar Dudaev.
May Allah rest Medet Unlu’s soul. I offer my condolences to his family, his closest friends and the Caucasian people.
Why can’t we protect them? Why?!
