lpv:translated text	"Mr President, how is 2006 ending? What is our foreign policy? We saw it in Finland the other day. We are cursing Russia and caressing Turkey. That is the reality. We are cursing Russia, with whom we have an energy-dependent relationship, and we are caressing Turkey, which says provocatively, 'I am Turkey and can impose whatever I choose on Europe'. As you see, it is insisting that we talk with it at a time when it does not accept the 25th Member State of the European Union, Cyprus. That is our policy. We do not see what is happening in Gaza. When, at long last, will the European Union see what is happening in this area of the world, where children are being killed every day? There have been about 500 000 deaths in Iraq. When will we take an initiative at long last? When there have been a billion deaths? So what is Europe? Europe is on the American car carrier which drives us wherever it wants. Fine, we have handed them the steering wheel, but let us at least take over the brakes, so that we count for something. Otherwise we are no more than servants of the foreign policy of America, which drives us where it wants, when it wants. What are our relations with China? Do we know? Are they hostile? Are they friendly? How do we address this factor? A Sino-Russian axis is developing. What will we be? The ham, the salami in the sandwich which the United States of America wants to fix? Let us decide on a foreign policy of our own. Let us draw up our own policy. We cannot see it anywhere. We cannot see Europe's policy anywhere. We follow America's policy and I do not think that it leads in the right direction, to proper democratic developments."@en1
