He can't comprehend what we've been through. He's a father. I want to tell him what we've been through. |
He feels guilty. ... He answered all our questions, and he promised us action to find out the truth. He is interested in getting the truth. |
I think we said everything that we wanted to say. We spoke about responsibility, the fate of children that survived; we spoke about the dead, those who didn't live to grow old; we spoke about irresponsibility and negligence. |
It is important in principle to know the truth so that something like this cannot happen again, and so that incompetent, irresponsible, corrupt people - people without morals - will be punished. That is not what is happening. |
It was a difficult conversation -- but we had it. We hope results will follow from this meeting. He listened to us. |
The government is supposed to guarantee our lives, take responsibility for our lives, and they haven't. |
The most painful questions are left unanswered. |
The report should have legal force. The materials of the parliamentary commission must be passed to the investigative organs. |
They had a whole year to prepare this; no one was in their way. And still, they didn't answer the most important questions. The whole point of their report is to demonstrate that the federal authorities handled the situations without any mistakes, and all the mistakes were made at the lower levels. And this is not true. |
We ask questions, and they don't answer. |
We became convinced that there was misinformation on many issues. |
We believe the work of this committee was not objective.... The main aim was to cover up for top officials. |
We didn't expect anything else, the prosecutors are sticking to their version of events and ignoring victims' testimony. |
We insist on these commissions finding and naming the officials responsible for the negligence that occurred. We want the whole world to learn the truth about this crime and we want the guilty to be punished. Not just the terrorists but also the officials. |
We need to look him in the eyes and tell him that he is responsible for the deaths of our children... We are going to show him what suffering is. |
