lpv:translated text	"Mr President, first of all, I would like to welcome the realistic manner in which the declaration made on behalf of Baroness Ashton addresses the situation in Kazakhstan. I also believe that not only Kazakhstan, but the whole of Central Asia, should represent a strategic partnership for the European Union, because we cannot speak only about human rights, but also about social rights, and this should be of particular concern to us. I wish to welcome the start of negotiations for this partnership and cooperation agreement, because I never had the cynicism to simply criticise, and instead I understood, as a politician, the need to get involved in order to change things. In my opinion, this seems to be the way to follow in an active foreign policy action of the European Union. Under this agreement, the issues related to human rights must be a priority. However, we cannot fail to sanction the major deviations from democracy we are facing in Kazakhstan. I also welcome the release of Natalya Sokolova, but I request, in particular, the release of the opposition leader, Mr Kozlov, and of the leader of one of the most notable media authorities, the editor-in-chief, Igor Vinyavski. They are not the only leaders who are facing unjust and unfair trials at present, under a law aimed at national security in Kazakhstan. I think the main signal that Kazakhstan’s leaders want to democratise their country and ensure a future destined for its citizens lies in the way they address fundamental rights and freedoms. It is vital to re-examine that national security law because it is the source of these oppressions and this should not be tolerated. We cannot consider freedom of speech a violation of a law that concerns national security. No concept of national security in the world can violate the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual."@en1
