"This is not the first time such tragic events have occurred in Uzbekistan, and we must make every effort to ensure that they will not be repeated. If this does not succeed, it could lead to destabilisation not just in Uzbekistan, but also in the wider region of Central Asia.
Demands for an independent international investigation have already been expressed by the UN through the High Commissioner for Human Rights, by the European Union through its Council and by the OSCE through the Chairman-in-Office of that organisation. In this light we can of course merely support the decisions of the European Council.
The European Union and others that wish to participate in resolving this extraordinarily complex and challenging issue must be entirely clear about the causes, the course and the consequences of these tragic events. I believe that alongside the investigation that has been demanded any number of times, there must be a comprehensive analysis of the sources of any further potential destabilisation in Uzbekistan. I am convinced that the exceptionally complex state of affairs cannot be attributed simply to terrorism or religious fundamentalism. We should not allow ourselves the luxury of superficial diagnosis, since that could lead to mistaken policies. Certain other elements of instability have already been mentioned here today.
What is essential for the European Union is that we should make every effort to ensure that within a democratic framework Uzbekistan can arrive at stability and introduce reforms, which would lead to a simplification of the internal political dialogue and then take the country to a higher level of democracy and economic progress."@en1
