Mikhail Mamiashvili, president of Federation of wrestling of Russia: "I can't imagine that it occurred. The boy actually grew up at me on hands. In team I knew it from the first day, even language doesn't turn to speak about it in the past tense. He four times was world champion, spoke at the Olympic Games twice, brought to the medal country".

Hassan Baroyev, Olympic champion, double world champion and Europe: "It is the most grandiose loss for world sports and our huge country. It was the greatest athlete and the person from capital letter with heart, soul and magnificent sense of humour. Here it is difficult to be at loss for words. He was the remarkable friend and the excellent interlocutor. Everything that is good in life, was present at this person".
