"A couple of weeks ago the entire world was shocked by the murder of Anna Politkovskaya. The trampling of human rights and freedom of expression in Chechnya that Anna Politkovskaya sought to make public was stifled using the methods of gangster politics.
A week ago we had to talk about the Georgian crisis, which Russia began with a political show of force, imposing economic sanctions and a transport and postal blockade against Georgia, prohibiting imports of Georgian goods, closing Russia’s border with Georgia and beginning to deport Georgians from Russia.
Today we must be prepared to prevent the possible use of all kinds of military force in connection with the secession attempts of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
The European Union and Parliament cannot simply stand by and watch the situation in Georgia unfold. We must use every available option – the whole gamut of measures provided for in the European Neighbourhood Policy, the organisation of border guard missions, the facilitation of free trade and the simplification of the visa system – with the objective of preserving peace in the South Caucasus."@en1
