"Madam President, my original speaking time was unfairly cut short as it approached the two-and-a-half-minute limit, but the conclusion of my argument was that you cannot create change through foreign interventions or other forms of military violence. It was exactly that kind of approach in the past which led to the birth of the current regime. If you threaten Iran with foreign interventions, many people in Iran who hate the current government will actually rush to the government’s support in order to defend their fatherland.
However, we must not go to the other extreme, either. It is wrong to seek cooperation with this regime in the belief that the current grouping will remain in power permanently or that supporting stability in this country will benefit the European energy supply. Consistently standing up for human rights and lending support to the democratic opposition are the only ways to bring about improvement. That will also include the kind of improvement which will benefit the victim who has been the subject of this debate."@en1
