lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Saddam Hussein is, without doubt, the very picture of a repulsive dictator, but he is a repulsive dictator who consolidated his power at a time when he was a close ally of Europe and the United States, when the revolution was building in Iran, and we would do well to remember that because there is a great deal of hypocrisy flying around. There is hypocrisy flying around today; various members are crowing away, calling for every kind of embargo on Iraq, which tried to occupy part of Kuwait ten years ago and was forced to retreat in the face of military intervention by the West. The very same members who are passionately in favour of extending the European Union to Turkey, which occupied part of the Republic of Cyprus 25 years ago and continues to occupy it 25 years later. It is disgraceful. It is quite disgraceful. People listen to us, journalists watch our every move. It is disgraceful, having two sets of standards, two yardsticks. I think that lifting sanctions, with the exception of military sanctions, would help us to deal with the problem of Iraq."@en1
