lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we should express our deepest condolences to the victims of Beslan and their relatives. These people need our help: communities across Russia as well as Beslan and its surrounding regions. There is nothing more barbarous or mindless than the intentional killing of defenceless mothers and children. We cannot be impartial faced with terrorism of this sort. It threatens the rule of law, democracy, civil rights, the basis of our society. The whole world has realised that things have now gone too far. I headed a parliamentary delegation to Chechnya last year. Parliament stressed that the conflict in Chechnya could not be resolved by military means. The Russian Government stated that it would act accordingly. Terrorism cannot be fought in ways that curtail democracy, civil rights and equality. The background to terrorism involves social policy, and the remedy for it likewise involves social policy. It will not come about through the use of weapons or the continued centralisation of power. In Europe, we can see that Russia’s policy on Chechnya has failed. It is difficult to see how a continued centralisation of power in the Kremlin would help us understand this policy. Up till now, we have supported the policy to promote stability and democracy under Putin’s leadership, and hopefully it will not now come about that, as a result of these tragic events, we start to rethink and alter our policy on Russia, because now Russia itself is also a victim. Hopefully we will find, together with the Russian leadership, ways in which Russia could act in accordance with its own public proclamations, and which we could therefore support wholeheartedly. This is a matter of joint concern."@en1
