We must remember that politics is more than a power game. The core of politics in my view is to serve our citizens, to serve our fellow human beings.

Terrorism is contempt for human dignity.

We have a good life when we manage to live with both satisfied and unsatisfied needs, when we are not obsessed by what is beyond our reach.

Unfortunately, religion, like patriotism, is easy to misuse for political purposes.

If we dare to come closer to our fellow human beings, we will be able to see and understand them better.

There is a need for more effective dialogue... between the government and the international community.

Knowledge of other people's beliefs and ways of thinking must be used to build bridges, not to create conflicts.
