"Madam President, Mr Solana, we want complete demilitarisation of the region; we want Russia to withdraw from the area. I wonder what sort of peace the Americans are building by training Georgian soldiers there, and who is currently benefiting from this oil pipeline project. In the European Union, we teach the rule of law, not how to fire a gun, and this difference should always be made clear to our friends. The elections that were held were a good example of progress. Special envoy Heikki Talvitie has done a good job there, but the Caucasus region shows all the symptoms of deepening and continuing conflicts: ethnic, economic, religious, military and political.
In fact, the situation has got out of hand, as far as everyone is concerned, including the Russians in Russia, especially those close to the border. This is a huge problem for us. It continues to advance and is difficult to halt. It is good that Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan are covered by our good neighbour policy, but that is not enough. I think that in this case the key to the situation lies in the relationship between Georgia and Russia.
I would like to ask you something, Mr Solana. You will soon be meeting President Putin. Will you mention relations between Georgia and Russia when you meet him?"@en1
