"Mr President, Kazakhstan is the European Union’s most important partner in Central Asia, although geographically, some areas in the west of the country are, in fact, part of Europe. Kazakhstan plays an important stabilising role in this strategic region of the world, and the Kazakh authorities attach great importance to relations with the European Union. We know that recently in Kazakhstan, violent events have taken place in which people have been killed. We would like to offer our condolences to the victims’ families, and are of the opinion that explaining the circumstances of this tragedy is in the interests of all concerned and, in particular, of the Kazakh authorities. We think, however, that we should be careful in our judgment of these events, since we do not know all the facts about what took place. The European Parliament’s resolution must not turn into an indictment, particularly when it is not supported by evidence. I think we should appeal to the authorities in Kazakhstan to provide a full explanation of these tragic events, to punish those who are found to be guilty and to exonerate those who are innocent, but in this situation, we must not charge the Kazakh authorities and we must not take over their role. This is what the European Conservatives and Reformists Group proposes for the resolution, and I would like to ask for this to be adopted."@en1
