"Mr President, the European Union we believe in, the European Union of our dreams, the European Union the citizens of Europe want must surely be a Union that defends certain specific values, and does so on the international stage. As a matter of principle, therefore, we must condemn Russia’s behaviour towards Georgia in recent weeks. I would like to call on all competent European Union bodies to make statements, take action in this matter and to defend Georgia’s independence. I also call on these bodies to stand up for the fundamental principles of international law, such as independence and non-interference in each other’s affairs.
We are aware that Russia is inciting separatism in Georgia, but the events of the last two weeks are particularly worrying, as we have noted a tremendous increase in chauvinistic, nationalistic and anti-Georgian statement in Russia. In the last few days, we have learnt that works by Georgian artists exhibited in Moscow are being damaged. The hysterical tirades directed by the Moscow media against Georgians living in Russia mean that they do not feel safe on the territory of the Russian Federation. I call on the European Union, and on this House, to show unequivocal support for an independent, self-governing Georgia, which has every right to feel safe in a united Europe."@en1
