lpv:translated text	"Fellow Members, as we can see, there are very different assessments of this matter. I would just like to remind you that this is not about our circumstances and whether or not we recognise something. What is important here is that there is now a chance to further a reform process. If the opposition in Russia says that it now wants to implement reforms, should we then say ‘no, you cannot do that because this is a false system, as these were not proper elections’? Let us not try to be holier than the Pope, but let us try to help the opposition in Russia. Let us help the opposition to do something, and, Mr Migalski, of course we could criticise a great deal more. The question is, however: how can we help the two to come together? After all, the main thing that we are interested in if we want a partner in Russia is that we have a partner that is strong and democratic. That is my goal. It is not about the past; it is about the future, and that is also what the opposition wants. To Mr Stadler, who is new to this House, I would say: we are not talking about Austria today; we are talking about Russia. Perhaps you did not notice that. It is about Europe and Russia – that is the key issue – and next time, I would like us to be able to talk of genuinely free elections. These elections were still not free and fair, but let us help the opposition to find a solution with Mr Medvedev, so that Mr Putin will become a different President because he has different rules. We will not be able to change Mr Putin, but, with our support, the opposition can now change the rules according to which Mr Putin governs."@en1
