President ALDE


Brussels, 30 March 2010


Dear Mr. Kasyanov/Mr.Mitrokhin,

Outrages act of murder that took place in the Moscow Metro and that killed dozens of people dead and injured does not leave unnoticed. On behalf of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe allow me to express my condolences and solidarity in the face of this tragedy.
Terrorism has no excuse or justification. On this Monday morning in Moscow it has shown its ugliest face. A hideous crime was committed without concern or consideration for human life. We deplore in strongest terms and call to justice all of the perpetrators of this massacre. Fighting terrorism requires determination and cross-border partnership. European Union stands prepared to extend its hand in finding sustainable solutions in persecuting and eliminating terrorism.

ALDE Group stands united with the People’s Democratic Union/YABLOKO and offers its solidarity and support. By pursuing your political mission your party will contribute to greater security and prosperity of the Russian people. In this hour of need your determination and commitment to the future of your country is essential. ALDE wishes to offer its ongoing commitment and highest consideration for your work in pursuing this cause.

Sincerely,
Kristina Ojuland
MEP ALDE

Guy Verhofstadt
President ALDE
