All the therapists would tell me was that I was the only healthy person they knew.

I decided to go into politics because of our Soviet-style government.

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

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

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

I may not be a politician, but I will fight to the end of my life for what I believe in.
