Terrorism cannot be eradicated through persuasion alone; bandits must be destroyed — Kadyrov Moscow. March 29. INTERFAX.RU - Chechen Republic President Ramzan Kadyrov said he was convinced that the organizers and perpetrators of the terrorist attacks in the Moscow metro had sought to create chaos, plunge Russia into fear and distrust, and undermine its economy. "In the fight against this evil, there must be no outsiders and no one indifferent. It does not choose its victims by nationality, religion, or race. What matters to terrorists is spilling blood, keeping people on edge, and paralyzing the machinery of the state," the statement by the president of Chechnya says, according to a text obtained by Interfax. "On this difficult day for the peoples of Russia, we declare with full responsibility that we will fight terrorists until they are completely destroyed. Evil cannot be eradicated through persuasion alone. Therefore, in order to save the lives of peaceful citizens, bandits must be isolated from society and, if they resist, destroyed without mercy," R. Kadyrov stressed.
