"Mr President, yesterday evening we joined in honouring the memory of the victims of Beslan with a minute’s silence. From today’s speeches, we can see various conceptual approaches to evaluating what happened. Let me briefly explain my own judgment. If we are to reject the proposition that ‘the end justifies the means’, then we must not exploit the situation that violent means have brought about in order to raise the question of our cherished aims. Otherwise, the terrorists will conclude that the events they stage bring results. The issue of a people’s right to self-determination, which should be respected as far as possible, must not be raised in connection with acts of terror. What is more, one would want to see the European Union adopt not double standards, but single standards towards events in Iraq, Russia, Turkey, Indonesia and other countries. Sunni terrorism, Chechen terrorism and Kurdish terrorism do not have a separate existence. This is all violent conduct based on exactly the same principles, and should be condemned, regardless of its perpetrator, its origin or the territory on which it is committed."@en1
