– What happened is a terrible tragedy that should not have happened. I think Russia will serve as an example and make the world realize that you can’t do something like this to people and go unpunished. I would like to thank the doctors for their quick work, I am glad that the patients are feeling well and recovering. May God bless them, RIA Novosti quoted Segal as saying.
