The economic, social and cultural progress of a nation depends on citizens counting for more and having more rights.

The risk of a terrorist victory is greater when in fighting terror, democracy betrays its own essence.

I said when I came into office that I don't want to be a great leader; I want to be a good democrat.

Any peace process after so many years of horror and terror will be long and difficult.

My commitment is my commitment.

The more equality women have, the fairer, more civilized and tolerant society will be. Sexual equality is a lot more effective against terrorism than military strength.

Democratic power is the only voice most citizens have.
