M.K. Ekzekov’s condolences on the terrorist attack in Dagestan
In connection with the terrorist attack, June 24, 25 and 26 have been declared days of mourning in Dagestan. We deeply mourn together with the republic and the entire country.
On the evening of June 23, a monstrous terrorist attack occurred in Makhachkala and the resort of Derbent - gunmen committed an act of aggression and attacked churches. Police officers and several civilians were killed. We express our sincere condolences to the families of the victims, as well as to all residents of the republic. Thoughts and prayers of the entire Abkhaz-Abaza people are with the families of the victims. We wish a speedy recovery to those injured.
This terrorist act is another attempt to weaken the consolidation of society in a multinational republic. Moreover, as always, the militants act using the most low-key methods: attacking the unarmed and innocent ones. An attack on churches and a synagogue is a provocation and an attempt to bring discord in the society. Russia is a multinational and multi-religious country where representatives of all religions are treated with respect. The provocateurs will fail, and all the criminals and organizers of this terrorist act will receive their well-deserved punishment.
Terrorism in any form is an insult to the fundamental values of humanity. This is unconditional evil. But our commitment to the values of tolerance, compassion and respect is unwavering. And eventually, it is always these values that triumph over evil.
With deepest sympathy and solidarity, Chairman of the Supreme Council of the World Abaza Congress M.K. Ekzekov
