"Suicide terrorism is not in our culture. Women occupy a special place in our society.

They are mothers, keepers of the household, peacemakers.

There are actually cases of women stopping wars in Chechnya.

Only when a woman's family is threatened, when all of the men are dead, can she take up arms. But only then."
