This evening I came here to honor the memory of all Russian citizens who died here, as well as those killed in other horrible events that happened in Russia, said Mr. Armitage.
The whole civilized world witnessed the events that happened in Beslan. The citizens of my country cry for what happened there together with you, he added.
Mr. Armitage said he would discuss with Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Kislyakov ways to fight our common enemy.
US citizens will stand shoulder by shoulder with Russian citizens to put an end to this evil, he said.
The deputy secretary of state is in Russia on a working visit. Within the framework of his stay in Moscow, he will meet with Russian Security Council Secretary Igor Ivanov.
