Vladimir Zorin regarded assassination of Dagestani Cabinet Minister for Nationalities as terrorist act
The assassination of Minister for Nationalities, Regional Relations and Government Information in the Government of Dagestan Magomedsalikh Gusayev is "another terrorist act committed by extremists, which only shows that terrorism is threat number one in a modern society," said Vladimir Zorin, a minister of the Russian cabinet in charge of the nationalities policy.
"Gusayev pursued a course of counteracting extremism and terrorism and worked to defuse the acute situation in the republic. His assassination is an attempt to shatter the Dagestani society," Zorin said in an interview.
