Let us move from the era of confrontation to the era of negotiation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
And, perhaps most importantly, regional conflicts will again and again confront us with a cruel choice between costly engagement and costly indifference.
If you want to bring an end to long-standing conflict, you have to be prepared to compromise.
Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.
Better talk than fight, if nothing of sovereign value is anyway lost. Dialogue has achieved more than confrontation in many parts of the world.
You can only end a negotiation for peace if you begin it.
There was no doubt that sooner or later we will fight. But we will fight not in the way of the dissidents' protests. We understood that we needed to be as professional as possible.
Going forward, we must continue the fight to change the direction of our country.
The time is right for a political solution and the way is negotiations.
In the last twelve years, we have come some distance towards reconciliation and the breaking down of disadvantage. Let us take encouragement from what has been achieved and set our minds and hearts to end the remaining roadblocks.
We are engaged in a struggle that is fought on many fronts and in many forms.
