"Mr. President of the European Parliament, Mr. President of the Council of the European Union, Mrs. Commissioner, dear colleagues.
I would like to send my condolences both to the Russian citizens and to the Georgian citizens who lost their dear ones in this stupid conflict and to offer them my compassion. Due to history, I now speak to you as a European citizen with deep roots both in Russia and Georgia, as a citizen who feels part of the European diversity and less part of the European unity.
In this conflict, we lay emphasis on the energy situation in Europe, on Russia’s “imperialist” position and on Georgia’s nationalism and lack of diplomacy, but we forget that people and, especially, hopes have died in this conflict. I consider that today, more than ever, we all need to find ourselves part of a beneficial and constructive unity, in a diplomatic and national balance in order to deal with the major challenges waiting for the future generations.
In conclusion, I ask the President of Russia, the President of Georgia and the President of the Council of the European Union to take all necessary actions to end this regional conflict as soon as possible and resume an open and balanced cooperation policy, first of all to the benefit of citizens. Thank you."@en1
