President


1.   Resumption of the session

2.   Approval of the minutes of the previous sitting

The minutes of the previous sitting were approved.

3.   Statements by the President

The President condemned the violent attack on the journalist Oleg Kashin in Moscow during the night of Friday 5 to Saturday 6 November 2010 and welcomed the fact that Mr Medvedev, the President of the Russian Federation, had swiftly called for those guilty to be brought to justice.
The President said that on 31 October 2010, for the first time in two years, a demonstration had been held in Moscow without the police intervening. He expressed Parliament’s hope that this was an indication that public life in Russia was becoming democratic.
On the same day, Christians in the Syriac Catholic cathedral in Baghdad in Iraq had been the victims of a terrorist attack. On behalf of Parliament, the President called for an end to religious violence in the region.
Concerning the award of the Nobel Peace Prize on 10 December 2010, the President expressed his disapproval of the Chinese authorities’ attempts to put pressure on the European ambassadors, to dissuade them from attending the ceremony. The European Parliament considered human rights throughout the world to be inalienable. Parliament would be represented at the ceremony by the head of the European Union’s delegation in Norway.
