lpv:translated text	"Mr President, President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I really do feel that no man is more blind than the man who refuses to see. What sort of political process is this? We have witnessed a referendum in which less than 15% of the population voted, in which Western journalists present in Grozny were able to vote: what more do we need to prove that it was a complete charade? I am pleased to hear that Mr Oostlander found when he went to Chechnya that the normalisation process described by his friend, Mr Putin, has had no effect whatsoever for months. What is happening in Chechnya is that a policy of terror is being implemented by a state which has succeeded – and the resolution does not mention this – in killing 200 thousand people in 10 years, which has succeeded in turning 300 thousand out of a population of a million inhabitants into refugees, which eliminates dozens and dozens of Chechen civilians every day, and I am talking about civilians, not soldiers, through the Russian armed forces present in Chechnya. So this is the normalisation process! If we want to pretend, in the interests of a potential great Russian market, that the policy of terror implemented by the Russian Federation in Chechnya does not exist, then we can continue to do so, but, in that case, we will be accomplices to genocide – and we must be aware of that – for when 20 to 25% of the population of a country is eliminated in less than 10 years, that is called genocide. This is worse than Bosnia, it is worse than Kosovo. Therefore, President-in-Office of the Council, I believe – as Mr Staes said – that the way forward is through negotiations between the two parties concerned, that is between President Putin and President Maskhadov. The rest is pure and utter garbage that we are inventing in the name of interests which we do not want to admit to."@en1
