I should like to express my agreement with all of the resolutions insofar as they recognise the conduct of the recent parliamentary elections in Georgia as free and fair. I, too, am convinced that the elections were in fact so. We all want the transfer of power in Georgia to take place without force and democratically. The results of the parliamentary elections mean a new start for Georgia. It is the end for the political leadership that was noted for its unprecedented confrontational method of solving political problems. I might mention just the attempt to settle complex ethnic and political disputes through a one-off war. I would like to note this for all those in the EU and NATO who were still supporting the acting President of Georgia in this political style and possibly even encouraging it. For what other purpose were the supplies of munitions and weapons and assistance with the training of troops in an area where the fires of post-Soviet conflicts are still smouldering? Where prison officers tortured prisoners in jail with a feeling of impunity? Where the political protectors of these prison officers were confident of generous support from some states of the Union and the US? The results of the Georgian parliamentary elections should be a lesson for all of us that the politics of double standards will not do. One cannot announce a commitment to human rights to all the countries of the world, while at the same time condoning flagrant contraventions of human rights in some countries simply because we like their foreign policies."@en1
