We reiterate our strong condemnation of Russia's illegal attempt to annex Crimea and Sevastopol, which we do not recognize.
Real strength is allowing a vibrant society, where people can think and pray and speak their minds as they please.
We underscore that the door remains open to a diplomatic resolution of this crisis, on the basis of the Geneva accord.
Big nations should not be able to coerce smaller nations.
