"Mr President, Ms Kiil-Nielsen, I think that until this great tragedy took place in Zhanaozen, a tragedy for the entire Kazakh nation, these processes were moving in the right direction. However, the arrests of opposition members and journalists working for free media which were made following the events of Zhanaozen have given rise to serious doubts. Today, as a consequence, after meetings at the highest level with representatives of the regional and local authorities and prosecutors, I see a certain openness. However, I do think that today, we are going to have to test this information and the promises made by the authorities. In my opinion, the test of full democracy will be the trials of the people we are speaking about today, and I think it is in Kazakhstan’s interest to provide an objective explanation of the situation, but it is also in Kazakhstan’s interest to allow more space for the opposition and free media. We have to monitor this, and we have to show that democracy develops through certain stages and that in Kazakhstan, it needs to be extended further, along European lines."@en1
