"Mrs Tzavela, I would not dare to give you a history lesson, but I would like nonetheless to point out that, in Iran, it was the West, the United States, which supported the Shah of Iran and that, until the very last moment, even under the Bakhtiar Government, we were on the wrong side, and we gave all the arms to help the Iranian theocracy win. That is exactly the point I wished to make to you: if we fail to support those who are fighting for freedom, then they will end up in an impasse and the other side will win. That is precisely the lesson we learnt from Iran, Mrs Tzavela. The lesson we learnt from Iran was summed up by Mr Gorbachev: ‘History will punish those who arrive too late.’ I am asking that, for once, Europe does not arrive in this region too late."@en1
