"Mr President, Minister, Commissioner, I understand why numerous members take a stand against Russia. They suffered in the past. In Greece we had a civil war which lasted a full four years and left many dead.
So we cannot keep on looking back. We must also acknowledge where Russia is in the right. Have we forgotten that Putin warned that the recognition of Kosovo would unleash a backlash? Have we forgotten that Bush has broken the United States’ promise to Russia that ΝΑΤΟ would not expand eastwards?
There is only one policy we should follow and that is the policy formulated by President Sarkozy today when he said that it would be irresponsible to allow a crisis to develop in relations between the European Union and Russia."@en1
