of September 16, 2004

With deep pain the world community apprehended tragic events of August - September, 2004 in the Russian Federation, entailed death of innocent people as a result of explosions of passenger airplanes and at the metro station in the city of Moscow, execution of children hostages in North Ossetia.

The bloody practice of the international terrorism choosing as the victims of defenseless people, turning them into hostages of interests alien to them is resolutely condemned by the people of the Commonwealth countries, other states, the UN Security Council, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the European Union, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, NATO and other international organizations.

Cynically cruel, not compatible to morality and humanity of action of terrorists are dictated by intention to intimidate the people, to paralyze their will, to separate and to disarm spiritually in the face of the general danger threatening to them. The terrorists who performed crimes against the Russian Federation constitute extremely serious danger to all countries of the world without exception.

Heads of the State Parties of the CIS express complete solidarity with the Russian Federation in its fight against terrorism and are convinced that only consolidation of efforts of all civilized mankind in fight against the international terrorism is able to prevent distribution of this evil which became today to one of the main threats of the international security and stability.

Having faced acts of the international terrorism, the State Parties of the Commonwealth confirm the unshakable determination to together resist to any its manifestations and recognize such acts unambiguously criminal, not having justification, for whatever motives where also by whom they were made.
