lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Nigeria is an important country – a very important country. This is why we are taking an interest in what happened on 7 March near the city of Jos. The problem in Central Nigeria is not only that the people who are being killed there are Christians, because in January this year it was Muslims who were killed. In Nigeria’s case, religious divisions are compounded by a number of other divisions, and some of these have already been mentioned: economic, ethnic and social. However, there are also two other kinds of division: historical – because in that part of the country Christians are considered as locals, and Muslims as outsiders, despite the fact that they have lived there for two or three generations – and even political differences. As a rule, Christians support the ruling People’s Democratic Party, and Muslims usually support the opposition All Nigeria People’s Party. So there are very many differences and we must not treat these events as clear examples of religious persecution. The Nigerian Constitution guarantees freedom of religion: freedom of confession, freedom of worship and the right to change one’s religion. You may think my reference to the Nigerian Constitution is a naive approach, but I would like to remind everyone that the values stemming from the oldest written constitution – the American Constitution – and from the oldest written constitution in Europe – the Polish Constitution – are values which are still relevant and of lasting value. Therefore, we call upon the Federal Government of Nigeria, as well as governors and local authorities, to solve this problem, not only in the name of our values, but in the name of the values and principles written in their own constitution. I think it is important to refer to their own documents."@en1
