Susanna Dudiyeva Quotations

We spoke about those who perished, those who had their lives cut short. We spoke about irresponsibility and negligence.

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.

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.

He can't comprehend what we've been through. He's a father. I want to tell him what we've been through.

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.

We believe the work of this committee was not objective.... The main aim was to cover up for top officials.

We became convinced that there was misinformation on many issues.

We didn't expect anything else, the prosecutors are sticking to their version of events and ignoring victims' testimony.

The government is supposed to guarantee our lives, take responsibility for our lives, and they haven't.

We will ask questions and demand an answer.

We were outraged that no officials came ... when they carry responsibility for what happened. These body parts were also our children.

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.

You need to punish those who did not carry out their duties properly. Our children are no longer with us. The most painful questions are left unanswered.

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.

The report should have legal force. The materials of the parliamentary commission must be passed to the investigative organs.

It was a difficult conversation -- but we had it. We hope results will follow from this meeting. He listened to us.
