In honor of his father, he bought the biggest bull in market, slaughtered it and gave out to the poor. According to Baku mass media, Anzor, together with Maskhadov's widow and the "leaders of official representations of Chechnian Republic of Ichkeria in Azerbaijan and Europe" received condolences from hundreds of people. The presence of all those people on the hospitable land of Azerbaijan cannot but arise questions among Russians whom Baku leaders assure of friendship and brotherhood.
