International terrorism is throwing down a challenge, and not just to Russia.

Gorbachev gave us freedom of worship and freedom of speech and freedom to see what was going on and freedom to vote, but that freedom won't last unless it is underpinned by economic freedom.

We all have an equal interest in stability and security throughout Europe. The years the OSCE has existed, and particularly this year, have given rise to great expectations and at the same time to powerful disappointments.

We want peace and a political solution to the situation in Chechnya.

One could see that what you are writing was that today's meeting with President Bill Clinton was going to be a disaster. Now, for the first time, I can tell you that you are a disaster.

You have no right to criticise Russia over Chechnya.

We don't appreciate what we have until it's gone. Freedom is like that. It's like air. When you have it, you don't notice it.
