"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Europe was founded on the conviction that it was no longer possible to guarantee well-being, freedom, democracy and peace on the basis of national sovereignty. However, we are condemning the Georgians, who cast off the suffocating yoke of dictatorship in the name of Europe and with hopes of Europe, we are condemning them to national independence, while much of Europe is now kowtowing to Moscow and Putin’s politics in a most cowardly fashion, and preparing to do likewise with China. Our problem today is that we cannot carry on condemning Georgia, Turkey, Israel and Morocco – whose king asked to join the European Union in 1985 – we certainly cannot condemn them to something that we ourselves rejected, leading to our salvation!"@en1
