"This terrorist act must be condemned by the world community: death and violence are never to become a means of solving problems, instead they will give rise to new problems", says Schwimmer's statement received by RIA Novosti.
He stressed the fact that such cruel terrorist act was committed during the festivities on the occasion of the [59th] anniversary of the end of the Second World War.
On behalf of the Council of Europe Schwimmer expressed condolences to the families and close relations of those who were killed in the blast.
