"I believe that Ukraine is one of the closest potential partners of the European Union.
The Ukrainians are much closer to Europe civilisation-wise than are the Turks or the Albanians. The Ukrainian people have freely elected a change because the democratic orange powers have run the country into poverty, hopelessness and decay. Yanukovych was long in opposition and his attitude to the current opposition reflects the treatment he received from the orange leaders. Moreover, we must also recognise the fact that he probably remembers the earlier period when he was victimised by the orange league, and the European Union reacted by simply smiling benevolently. Unless we want to lose Ukraine as our future member, let us be patient and concentrate on economic cooperation; let us build up a climate of mutual trust. We must explain to the government that the opposition has its legitimate place in a democratic society, and to the opposition that unless it gains sufficient support from the people, it has no right to compete for power."@en1
