lpv:translated text	"Mr President, are we afraid or are we ashamed of the truth? Are we afraid or are we ashamed of it, Giorgos? The simple truth is that we have an occupying army and we have an irresponsible invasion by the Americans, British and Spaniards. That is the truth. With the occupation which we went through and which you went through in 1940, we too had executions and abductions. That is what we did to the victor and that is what the people of Iraq are doing today and rightly so. The occupying forces must leave. They must leave this country free to find its way. They must pay compensation for the wrong they have done. They must leave them the oil, and with oil at 60 dollars a barrel they will find their way. As long as there is an occupying army, there will also be crimes. They need to understand that. That is the real truth. We have lived through it. When Stalin interfered in Greece's internal affairs from 1944 to 1949, we slaughtered each other for many years. The occupying army must leave. That is the right thing to do. Let us speak the truth. We should not be ashamed. We should not come here and legislate from the safety of Strasbourg and Brussels. Let us go and say what we have to say in Vasora. Let us go and say what we have to say in Baghdad. That is where the people are, that is where the truth is, that is where the problem is. Long live democracy. Long live freedom. Long live self-determination."@en1
