    The people of Israel look to this palace with great anticipation and expectation. We pray that this meeting will mark the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the Middle East; that it will signal the end of hostility, violence, terror and war; that it will bring dialogue, accommodation, coexistence and above all…

  • Press Conference on Soviet Situation

    I spoke a short while ago to President Yeltsin in the Russian Parliamentary Building. I agreed with him to make public the contents of our conversation and so I will on this occasion refer to the notes I made during our discussion. President Yeltsin made a number of points that I would particularly wish to…

  • Climbed up on a tank

    Citizens of Russia: On the night of 18-19 August 1991, the legally elected president of the country was removed from power. Regardless of the reasons given for his removal, we are dealing with a rightist, reactionary, anti-constitutional coup. Despite all the difficulties and severe trials being experienced by the people, the democratic process in the…

  • On the future of Yugoslavia (problems in Croatia)

    Respected deputies, there is no citizen of Yugoslavia today who is not concerned for his own future and the future of his children.

Outside factors are already openly…

Y por supuesto esta historia explica el presente. Catalunya, como país, como pueblo tiene un origen absolutamente distinto a los otros pueblos de España. Especialmente, diferenciado del de los…

  • Sobre el informe de la Comisión de Verdad y Reconciliación

    Compatriotas: Esta noche me dirijo a ustedes para tratar un tema doloroso que aún divide a los chilenos: el de las violaciones a los derechos humanos cometidas en los últimos años. Al asumir el gobierno, dije que ésta es una herida abierta en el alma nacional, que sólo podríamos cicatrizar si procurábamos reconciliarnos sobre las…

  • Address to the Nation on the Invasion of Iraq

    Just two hours ago, allied air forces began an attack on military targets in Iraq and Kuwait. These attacks continue as I speak. Ground forces are not engaged. This conflict started August 2nd when the dictator of Iraq invaded a small and helpless neighbor. Kuwait — a member of the Arab League and a member…

  • QEII Conference Centre Speech

    Mr Chairman, when I joined the Conservative Party 30 years ago, I scarcely imagined this moment. That it has happened is a tribute above all to our Party and to the changes we have seen in the last decade. We owe so much of that to the will and determination of one woman. And I…

  • La seconde guerre du Golfe

    Le face à face des blocs militaires a longtemps assuré la paix tout en déplaçant la géographie des conflits. Après la seconde guerre mondiale, n’a-t-on pas compté plus d’une centaine de conflits régionaux ? Ce qu’on appelle le Sud était devenu le théâtre de batailles qui n’étaient plus livrées au Nord. Le gain d’un camp…
