He fought in Chechen field commander Khattab's group in 2001. Kvase Caffon passed Georgia when he was wounded and Armenians treated him secretly in Akhalkalak hospital. He joined the "Forest brothers" again and expanded the organization's activity after that.

Some buried ammunitions and food products were found in forestland in Khachmaz and Gusar regions of Azerbaijan in November, 2005.The ammunitions and food products were said to belong to the "Forest brothers" that time.

The law enforcement bodies have not detained any suspect related to this fact in Azerbaijan yet.
