The whole issue is about not having restrictions. What occurred in the country in question was appalling. It is genocide and there is no question about that. That state is able to borrow money to continue on. It will argue it was not used for the war itself but it is being used in the occupied territories, etc. Is there not now an obligation from a European point of view? The whole purpose of the EU was to eliminate conflict and to move down the road of peace. Is there now a role for Europe to continue with that process, with part of that process being the limitation of the availability of money for a state that is carrying out this type of activity, which has in this case led to over 70,000 deaths?
