Please, says Novomesky, 0:03:09.560,0:03:15.360 do not make out of these deeds, please, do not make out of this deeds legends in school primers. 0:03:16.240,0:03:21.440 This is the backbone of Slovak nations and behind these words we must all stay. 0:03:22.040,0:03:34.740 Slovak National Upheaval is a pearl of which any member of other nation or other state would be proud 0:03:35.380,0:03:42.380 And because we have this pearl allows us to say truth not only about upheaval, but also about other events. 0:03:44.780,0:03:51.780 Why do not we openly say that in 1938 in Munich was Czechoslovakia sacrificed in name of interests of other powers? 0:03:51.780,0:03:57.620 Why do not we openly speak about modalities of liberation of Slovakia and Czechoslovakia? 0:03:58.460,0:04:04.540 Yes, in Slovakia we hold in high esteem all soldiers who died during opening of the 2nd front 0:04:04.760,0:04:13.100 but undeniable truth which cannot be refuted is that Slovakia was liberated only by soldiers of Soviet and Rumanian armies. 0:04:21.120,0:04:28.120 For this reason I want to say clearly [hucumesfrumos] Mr. Speaker of Rumanian Parliament, [spasiba] to our friends from Russian Federation 0:04:28.120,0:04:33.840 and if I say it correctly in Ukainian than also [spasibya] to Ukrainians who participated in fights for liberation. 0:04:39.920,0:04:46.920 I want to thank all them who supported me in my decision to go to Moscow to place bouquet of flowers to tomb of an unknown soldier. 0:04:48.160,0:04:53.920 I would consider as a shame if Slovakia would not tell something concerning this deed. 0:04:54.760,0:04:57.160 Dear friends should we speak truth? 0:04:57.240,0:05:01.640 Let's speak truth about another big threat which threats Europe. 0:05:02.340,0:05:08.500 We speak about threat of uncontrolled influx of migrants from different parts of the world. 0:05:10.240,0:05:17.040 We speak about huge threat connected with huge human tragedies, as for example in Mediterranean Sea, 0:05:17.480,0:05:22.040 or tragedies similiar to the one which recently occured in Pandorf. 0:05:23.860,0:05:30.660 But certainly it is also a threat which touches OUR european lifestyle, OUR tradition and OUR values. 0:05:30.940,0:05:33.100 Let's pour ourselves pure wine: 0:05:33.740,0:05:38.620 I repeat once more: let's pour in front of whole Slovak society pure wine. 0:05:40.480,0:05:45.680 Let's not pretend that we do not see people's fear because medias and NGOs want us to do so. 0:05:45.680,0:05:50.140 But we feel that people are afraid, and not only in Slovakia, they are afraid in whole Europe. 0:05:50.140,0:05:53.860 Let's not pretend that we do not see causes of this phenomenon. 0:05:57.160,0:06:03.320 And let's not pretend that we can solve this problem by welcoming everyone with opened arms, 0:06:03.320,0:06:10.120 regardless of being economic speculants or people who need protection of their life, health and family. 0:06:10.120,0:06:11.820 This we have to distinguisth very strictly. 0:06:12.480,0:06:15.640 [vox populi shouts "Thank You"] 0:06:15.640,0:06:20.540 I would like to mention in few words the causes, something was already indicated, 0:06:20.880,0:06:24.000 in speech of Rumanian Parliamentary Speaker. 0:06:24.300,0:06:31.840 Ladies and gentlemen, there are countries which have been destabilized 0:06:32.300,0:06:35.040 We speak about Libya, Syria, other countries of Europe and the world. 0:06:35.260,0:06:38.860 And I pose a simple question: Did Slovakia bomb Libya? 0:06:39.820,0:06:45.740 Destabilized Slovakia such countries as Libya, Syria and other states? Certainly not. 0:06:46.900,0:06:53.900 For this reason we refuse to be criticzed for lack of solidarity which we express towards people who really need help. 0:06:55.680,0:07:02.680 Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Friends, I want to say very openly that European politics, when it comes to migration, had absolutely failed. 0:07:02.680,0:07:06.780 I remember what conclusions had we accepted at European Summit. 0:07:06.780,0:07:11.420 For example that states shall scrupulously adhere to Schengen borders 0:07:11.520,0:07:17.520 or that we shall sink down smuggler boats approaching Europe through Mediterranean Sea. 0:07:17.820,0:07:22.120 I do not see any sank down boats, I see more boats. 0:07:22.120,0:07:27.880 I do not see any Schengen border protection, instead I see another 10thousands, 100thousands of people 0:07:28.600,0:07:32.820 freely entering Europe without us knowing who they are 0:07:33.560,0:07:36.680 And who laughs? Smugglers, weapon merchants. 0:07:36.860,0:07:41.060 So I want to say to anybody who, under veil of humanism, wants to welcome anybody 0:07:41.060,0:07:44.960 regardless of the fact that he needs help or it is an economic speculant. 0:07:45.180,0:07:53.000 We invite merchants with death and smugglers to further commercial activities, to further huge profits 0:07:53.360,0:07:58.000 which can once turn against democracy and security of Europe as such. 0:07:58.440,0:08:00.140 Where are solutions ? 0:08:00.180,0:08:07.180 I want to inform You, ladies and gentlemen, that I convoke for Monday an exceptional meeting of the Security Council. 0:08:07.580,0:08:12.460 And repeatedly shall we repeat what we already said at European Summits: 0:08:12.600,0:08:16.280 situation should be resolved there, where it emerged. 0:08:16.460,0:08:19.500 And do not focus on consequences of the crisis. 0:08:19.500,0:08:22.260 We shall not resolve the migration crisis problem in Pandorf. 0:08:22.260,0:08:25.920 And we shall not solve it in the middle of Mediterranean Sea. 0:08:25.920,0:08:29.360 We have to solve it in Libya, we have to solve it in Syria. 0:08:29.360,0:08:35.860 And again I pose the question: How is it possible that when Greece needs money, Summit meets in 24 hours. 0:08:36.020,0:08:46.000 But when people die, we are unable to organize summit with presence of African countries and say: "It is at Your place that problems shall be resolved, and to You we are ready to help" 0:08:46.240,0:08:57.260 To be more concrete, Slovak government is convinced, similiarly to Afghanistan where we have special military units 0:08:57.260,0:09:00.960 it is necessary to create on this territories so-called "secure zones" 0:09:00.960,0:09:06.940 where these refugees can concentrate but where they could also be clearly identifiable. 0:09:09.400,0:09:16.400 You are economical speculant, You can not just travel so and so. But You are somebody who really needs help because Your health, life or family is concerned. 0:09:16.400,0:09:21.580 And then can countries of European Union agree what stance they shall adopt in regards to such people. 0:09:23.000,0:09:29.160 Slovakia, if it did it in Afghanistan, is ready to help in creation of such "security zones". 0:09:30.940,0:09:37.740 Ladies and gentlemen I will seize the opportunity of presence of big amount of embassy representants 0:09:38.240,0:09:40.880 I know You will inform about this event. 0:09:41.680,0:09:44.800 Clearly, legibly and predictably do I repeat: 0:09:45.580,0:09:52.060 If ever the idea of compulsory migrant quotas shall reappear, Slovakia will reject such quotas. 0:09:52.980,0:09:57.400 As we had already rejected first time on European Council meeting. 0:09:57.400,0:10:00.080 We have clear reasons for doing so. 0:10:00.080,0:10:05.300 Above all: country MUST have a right to choose a human for whom it can really care. 0:10:05.300,0:10:10.720 Let's be honest to ourselves: we are not even able to integrate our own Roma co-citizens. 0:10:10.720,0:10:13.040 Of which we have hundreds of thousands. 0:10:13.040,0:10:18.980 How could we integrate people who are completely elsewhere when it comes to their traditions, religion, lifestyle. 0:10:19.020,0:10:22.780 For this reason our contribution can be only voluntary. 0:10:23.080,0:10:28.280 I want to remind that Slovakia is solidary and I renounce critics of such type. 0:10:28.500,0:10:38.320 We have been executing for many years so-called humanitary transfers and we help refugees who stay for a time in Slovakia and then depart to destination country. 0:10:38.560,0:10:47.280 We said that we are willing to accept Syrian Christians: yes, people which know how to integrate, yes, please, let's help them. 0:10:47.280,0:10:53.020 And I want to thank charitative organizations, churches, which endorse such activities 0:10:53.500,0:10:59.660 And now we gave helping hands to Austria, so that we are willing to help Austria with asylants 0:11:01.060,0:11:08.060 because Austria is under pressure of asyl politics...This is rational and serious answer to migration as such. 0:11:08.340,0:11:11.640 To conclude, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends. 0:11:11.860,0:11:22.200 If democratic regimes which govern nowadays Europe shall not offer clear and rational answer to migration crisis 0:11:23.320,0:11:26.600 then this answer shall be given by somebody else. 0:11:26.600,0:11:33.200 If we shall not convince the public that we are able to protect traditions, valued and lifestyle which 0:11:33.200,0:11:36.880 as Novomesky said, are "backbone of our national life" 0:11:36.880,0:11:37.720 Then somebody else shall emerge in democratic elections who...
