The Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Office and Russia’s former Permanent Representative to UN International Organizations in Vienna, Vladimir Voronov, issued a statement Wednesday saying the following: “"On the subject of the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, we are working with our American colleagues to organize an event to commemorate the victims. At our office, the terrorists’ victims are one of the top issues. It is crucial to pay more attention to them and their plight.”
The report in RT includes the following: “In 2005, the Russian government gifted a 10-story sculpture called ‘To the Struggle Against World Terrorism’ by artist Zurab Tsereteli to the United States. Also known as the ‘Teardrop Memorial’, it is located in New Jersey, and was opened at a ceremony attended by Putin.”
