"Shamil Fedorovich Dzhigkaev was exclusively hard-working, intelligent, well-wishing and cheerful man, highly cultured and honest, » - is emphasized in the telegram.
The head of the state has noted that the contact with Shamil Dzhigkaev was always fruitful and joyful. "The hot patriot of his Fatherland, he took close to heart the tragic events, occurring in both parts of Ossetia, responded to manifesting indifference and unfairness, - is noted in the telegram. – In the person of Shamil Fedorovich the Ossetian people have lost the most dignified of her sons, devoted to the ideals of fairness and honour. I am sure that the killers will not manage to spread horror among the inhabitants of Ossetia, break stability in the region. I have no doubt that this crime will be investigated thoroughly and the organizers and the executers of this cynical and cruel felony will suffer the just punishment".
