I would like to become the prime minister, do the job for two years, and then leave and devote myself to public work.

I would like to become the prime minister, do the job for two years, and then leave and devote myself to public work.

This is my philosophy: I prefer to stay out of the public eye. I love freedom.

I travel as much as I can and meet people.

I have money, but my most important capital is the trust of the people.

A difficult regional situation doesn't justify one man's determination to hold onto power. It's clear to me that democratization is a very complicated process.

I won't go back on my decision. I'm not afraid of prison, but there are even worse dangers.
