". Since September 11 2001, in the name of the fight against ‘terrorism’, the Russian Government has stepped up its attack on the Chechen people. A whole nation is thus being harassed and criminalised and the EU has shown no sign of condemning this. The considerable importance of Russia on the world stage, the presence of oil and gas in the Caucasus and the fact that several oil pipelines pass through this area are perhaps the main reasons for the silence of the major powers with regard to Russia’s policy in Chechnya. The Russian Government has offered to allow the American forces to be present in central Asia. The US army also has 200 military advisers in Georgia, with Putin’s agreement. The European Parliament must call on the Russian authorities to bring an immediate end to its ‘cleansing’ operation. A cease-fire must be declared. The Russian Government must resume negotiations with President Maskhadov’s representative immediately and unconditionally. The EU must let Russia know that the war in Chechnya is not compatible with the desire to build an open, transparent, democratic multi-ethnic society. That is why I voted for everything that advocated this approach."@en1
