Quotes
- There is always the risk in parliament that political opinions might be expressed.
- Russia is no longer a military threat. But I do think we have a responsibility to try to enhance stability and democracy. And only a democratic country can be stable … It's reasonable to allow time for the development of democracy … But Putin's Russia is moving in the wrong direction … many seem to think that one should tolerate some 'failures' since 'stability' has gained ground. I believe this kind of realpolitik is dangerous. Stability can only result from a genuine democracy, rule of law and respect of human rights.
- As quoted in "Putin's shadow falls over Finland" by Simon Tisdall, in The Guardian (14 June 2006)
