lpv:translated text	"Mr President, one passage in the Russian press on the ongoing Chechen tragedy struck me deeply. In an interview the Russian parliamentarian Boris Nemtsov describes a meeting with a young Chechen woman in a refugee camp in the neighbouring republic of Ingushetia. I quote: ‘She said to me: You Russians are busy exterminating us. You are committing genocide. But you won’t succeed. Because we shall simply outstrip you in population growth.’ In order to support her assertion Nemtsov’s interviewee told him that a large number of children had been born last year in the refugee camps in Ingushetia. The majority of them were boys, claimed the Chechen woman. ‘And they will all join the partisans later,’ she concluded. Who except God alone will be able to fully plumb the depths of the suffering of the Chechen civilian population? After a terrible war in the period 1994-1996, for the last eighteen months it has again been the victim of Russian-Chechen hostilities. The fierce, belligerent indictment of these Chechen refugees, can be put in an historical and political context. Remember the horrors that Stalin inflicted on the Chechen people in the 1940s. Such a destructive cry of despair demands a serious political answer. Gratifyingly, Boris Nemtsov promises to devote his energies to this. This very month he will present an all-embracing plan of action for the reconstruction of Chechnya. His aims are clear: to offer a real opportunity for the host of Chechen refugees to return home and to prevent Chechen youth from joining the ranks of the ‘partisans’. This different, sensible political note from the Russian Federation deserves the moral support of the European Parliament. I therefore respectfully request the Council and the Commission in the forthcoming meetings with President Putin and his government to adopt this peaceful Russian solution to the Russo-Chechen tragedy. Then Chechen and Russian blood will no longer have to flow on such a huge scale in the Northern Caucasus."@en1
