lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is strange to be debating Chechnya right now, as we are sending a delegation in a few days’ time to learn about the matter we are now asking and speaking about. This would indicate that we place no value on the information received from Russia. Russia has claimed that terrorists are also operating in Chechnya, but this is not widely accepted. It obviously cannot be true that everyone in Chechnya is a terrorist, which is what has also been said in Russia. However, when the United States of America began their campaign against terrorism we immediately gave them our support. As a result of some television publicity we believe there is anti-American terrorist activity even in a gorge between Russia and Georgia. Ladies and gentlemen: I have ten observations to make. This brutal war cannot be solved with weapons; even Russia now admits that. The war is part of numerous conflicts in the region; even these terrorists seem to come from the same sources. The conflicts could be eased through international mediation and I am working on the assumption that the delegation’s Executive Committee and our counterparts in the Duma will together try to look for political solutions. This is a political issue. The army’s violent clean-up operations in towns and villages must be ended immediately. The Russian army has not withdrawn because it trades illegally in oil and arms in the region. The Chechens must have their own police authority to expel the terrorists and mercenaries. A legal system must be created there, to bring the guilty to justice. The Chechens’ economy must be made transparent to avoid corruption. Human rights must be monitored; they cannot be violated claiming terrorism as an excuse. Relief organisations must be allowed into the region unhindered, and, finally, the Union must embark on the reconstruction of the region together with Russia and the Chechens."@en1
