it is very complicated, but I try to explain. Dagestanis and chechens have nothing to do with the turks. In general, there is no such nationality as a Dagestanis - 30 different nations live in Dagestan, and for example Khabib and Islam Makhachev from different nations. Khabib's nation is the most numerous and gave the most fighters - they are called Avars. Nation of Islam - Laks Chechens and Ingush are one people calling themselves Vainakhs, it makes no sense to separate them
This can be explained for a very long time and it is very difficult for you
@stuthehistoryguy Those mountain peoples are not Slavic, they are different races altogether.... And Armenians, Ossetians, Kalmyks, Chechens and the many Dagestan tribes, Azeri's, Georgians and others are even a lot different from each other, they look different and have different lineages and cultures. And there are mountain Albanians but their land is in Azerbaijan
@IznKaraHe is right they are mostly not Turkic, apart from the Azeri's and Balkars, and actual mountain dwelling Turkish people
