"Mr President, I believe that this debate is very important to all of us, because Europe has moved away from war and towards peace and negotiation. Therefore, it is essential for us to find partners in Iran who are prepared to enter into discussions. I know that many members of the Iranian Parliament disagree with the country’s current policies.
I think we urgently need to explain that cooperation is always the basis and the starting point of future, peaceful collaboration. Trade is ultimately also the foundation of democracy, because friendships, including those made in sporting and cultural exchanges, naturally allow for differing opinions.
In my opinion, it is important for us to encourage this type of discussion among the Iranian people and to challenge them. We should not be imposing sanctions on Iranian citizens, but on the people who are abusing the law."@en1
