"Mr President, we are again dealing with what we might call the conflict of interests between the principle of the territorial integrity of a State and the principle of self-determination of a people. As regards what is today Russia and what was once the Soviet Union, this second principle has been implemented smoothly in Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus and the Caucasus. But it seems that within the Caucasus, this does not apply in the case of Chechnya.
The international community has made every effort to help the Kosovars, but not the Chechens. The international community has supported independence for East Timor, but not for Chechnya. I wonder: why is there this discrimination against a people which has every right to self-determination?"@en1
