【Focus: Kadyrov wants to repair relations with Azerbaijan, personally congratulates Aliyev on his birthday】
On December 24, 2025, Moscow time, Ramzan Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel:
I congratulate the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, dear brother Ilham Khaidarovich Aliyev, on his birthday. I highly appreciate the fraternal and friendly relations between Azerbaijan and the Chechen Republic. Our predecessors - former President of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev and the first President of Chechnya, Hero of Russia Akhmad-Khaiy Gudiyev, were the originators of this relationship. Ilham Aliyev's position and continuous actions have made an important contribution to strengthening trust, partnership, and neighborly relations between Russia and Azerbaijan. The Chechen people remember with gratitude the support given by the third President of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev during difficult times.
Additional information:
After the "Aqtau air disaster" incident, Aliyev repeatedly publicly stated that he would hold Chechnya accountable.
