lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Russian Parliament is trying to impeach this same President for the former war in Chechnya. The war is political, it is taking place at the same time as election campaigns in Russia, so that any way out must also be political. It will not be possible to get these fighters out of the mountains using force. Russia has got its own Kurdish problem, which is evidently just as difficult to solve as it has been in Turkey. In both cases international aid is required simply on account of the refugees, some of whose camps are out in the open. Soon they will be covered in snow. In addition, there is the threat of the conflict spreading. Military operations are now taking place in the territories of at least five States and for this reason the matter is already an international one. The OSCE and the Union must offer to negotiate between the two sides so that in this way, the stalemate, which seems time and again to lead to war in the area, can be broken. We must act swiftly to aid the refugees because they are the innocent ones in what has happened. It is therefore a question of a political solution – I do not believe a military one to be possible – and we now have the opportunity to help Russia, which is in a difficult political situation in any case, by offering help to find a solution and bring about negotiations on the Chechen problem."@en1
