He made the statement while in conference with Vladimir Yakovlev, presidential envoy plenipotentiary to the Southern federal district, and Sergei Fridinsky, deputy prosecutor general. They had come to the site to see a therapeutic ward under construction.
Today is a first anniversary of one of Russia's most horrible tragedies. A chapel and a memorial complex opened on its site today to gather several hundred bereaved relations.
Terrorists demolished the Mozdok military hospital, August 1, 2003, as an explosive-laden truck blasted close to the premises to kill 51 and injure more than a hundred.
The new hospital, with 105 beds, is being built several kilometers off the tragedy site, complete with an outpatient clinic, a pharmacy and depots.
