"Mr President, it would indeed appear that the Chechen war in Russia is also part of an election campaign, although there may be many other reasons for it. The Russian action there seems to be taking the form of actual persecution of the civil population. This is to be condemned once and for all, and this will lead to a situation before long in which we have to cease providing aid to Russia. The cessation of this aid will obviously affect the poorest and those who need help most, it has to be remembered. I am looking for a way out. Could we imagine a conference being organised for the whole Caucasus issue, as there are military operations going on there within the territories of at least five states, and not just in Chechnya, about which my colleagues have spoken? The example of Armenia – the murder of the Prime Minister a few hours ago today – is again a deplorable indication of that. The other possibility is that Russia turns the main weight of its attention from the south to the north, which is much richer in natural resources than the south, with no conflicts or dangers. This again would be one way of finding a way out of the difficulty. Is the Commissioner ready to support this sort of northern dimension action?"@en1
