Basayev interview proves double-standards policy - Roshal
By Andrei Golubkov
MOSCOW
An interview of Chechen terrorist Shamil Basayev with the U.S.-based
ABC television company "proves the policy of double standards on
Russia," head of the Moscow Children's Surgery and Traumatology
Institute Prof. Leonid Roshal said on Friday.
Roshal is an expert of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the
Chairman of the International Committee on Pediatric Disaster
Medicine of the World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine
(WADEM).
This January he received the European of the Year title for the
promotion of humanitarian values.
Roshal is known in Russia for holding negotiations with terrorists
who seized a Moscow theatre and a secondary school in Beslan, and
rescuing people in earthquakes and other catastrophes in Armenia, the
United States, Egypt, Japan and Afghanistan.
He said he got an impression of Basayev after the events in
Budennovsk, the Moscow theatre and Beslan. "Terrorism means murder of
innocent people," Roshal said.
A self-respecting journalist should never have any contacts with a
person announced terrorist by the international public, he said.
