-Are you all right?

-Oh...

0:13:280:13:31

Sorry, um, yes, I'm fine.

0:13:310:13:34

-Vladimir Bayanov.

-Nice to meet you.

0:13:340:13:37

I believe I'm being interrogated by you.

0:13:370:13:39

Oh, yes.

0:13:390:13:42

Would you like us to go over some of the topics I'd like to talk about

0:13:420:13:45

-before we start?

-Why?

0:13:450:13:47

-Well, just to...

-No, I have nothing to hide.

0:13:470:13:52

You can ask me anything. I'm not President Grozin.

0:13:520:13:55

Of course not.

0:13:560:13:58

What does democracy mean to you?

0:15:370:15:40

-It is like ice cream or love means to me.

-Please, elaborate?

0:15:400:15:43

HE THROWS REMOTE

0:15:430:15:45

Well, it's so difficult to explain,

0:15:450:15:47

yet so easy to understand.

0:15:470:15:50

We would not die without democracy,

0:15:500:15:53

but democracy develops the human race.

0:15:530:15:55

Because it forces us to embrace

0:15:550:15:59

and to understand those who think differently.

0:15:590:16:02

Mr Bayanov, you are one of the most prominent members of the Turgisian minority,

0:16:020:16:07

in Turgisia, who is fighting for an independent state,

0:16:070:16:10

often with violent methods.

0:16:100:16:13

Do you find the violence is sometimes necessary?

0:16:130:16:16

Yes, violence is necessary,

0:16:160:16:18

because Grozin is trying to destroy my people.

0:16:180:16:22

Should we not defend ourselves?

0:16:220:16:24

But sometimes the Turgisians do more than defend themselves.

0:16:240:16:27

There have been bombs killing civilians and other episodes

0:16:270:16:30

that can only be described as terrorism.

0:16:300:16:33

Do you sympathise with that?

0:16:330:16:35

Politics is war without bloodshed.

0:16:350:16:37

But war is politics WITH bloodshed.

0:16:370:16:40

Yes, that doesn't answer my question.

0:16:400:16:43

Before Chairman Mao became the leader of a great nation,

0:16:440:16:47

he was accused of being a terrorist.

0:16:470:16:49

Before Yitshak Shamir became Prime Minister of Israel,

0:16:490:16:53

he too was accused of being a terrorist.

0:16:530:16:55

If you win your war, you're remembered for being a great politician.

0:16:550:16:58

If you lose, you're remembered for being a terrorist.

0:16:580:17:02

Mr Bayanov...

0:17:040:17:05

..are you a terrorist?

0:17:060:17:08

Is Grozin?

0:17:090:17:11

Thank you very much for coming today.

-President Grozin, welcome to Denmark.

-President Grozin, can you confirm

0:20:240:20:27

that the Turgisian government has placed an order with North Wind worth a billion euros?

0:20:270:20:30

Like any other country, Turgisia has a responsibility to reduce its CO2 emissions.

0:20:300:20:38

And we believe our future lies in wind energy.

0:20:380:20:43

But can you confirm that you have placed the order?

0:20:430:20:47

Mr Grozin, please come this way.

0:20:510:20:54

Please.

0:20:570:20:59

I understand that Vladimir Bayanov has not been arrested.

0:21:070:21:12

That is correct.

0:21:140:21:15

We received a request for the arrest of Mr Bayanov yesterday

0:21:150:21:18

-from your Ministry of Justice.

-And?

0:21:180:21:21

And it was simply a list of accusations.

0:21:210:21:24

As you are probably aware, we cannot act without evidence.

0:21:250:21:28

Bayanov is a well-known terrorist.

0:21:280:21:31

There's no international arrest order on Mr Bayanov.

0:21:310:21:34

I mean no disrespect, Mr President,

0:21:340:21:37

but our legal system makes it impossible for me to arrest a man who's legally in the country.

0:21:370:21:41

Legally? Bayanov?

0:21:410:21:42

Yes, I understand he's been invited here to talk about his poetry.

0:21:420:21:46

Let me tell you about Mr Bayanov's real poetry.

0:21:460:21:50

Bayanov was the brain behind the bombing of our police headquarters last month.

0:21:500:21:55

The Chief-Of-Police and five other men on duty were killed.

0:21:570:22:01

And almost 20 other people were badly wounded.

0:22:030:22:07

There is your evidence...

0:22:080:22:11

Mrs Prime Minister.

0:22:110:22:13

We will be looking into this, Mr President.

Mr Grozin. So lovely to see you again.

0:27:160:27:19

The pleasure is all mine. This is my wife, Irina.

0:27:190:27:22

-Enchanted. Nice to meet you. This is my husband, Phillip.

-Hello.

0:27:220:27:26

-Oh, shit.

-Ah, shit.

-OK.

0:27:430:27:46

Mr Grozin, I understand...

0:29:450:29:47

I understand that Bayanov is still a free man,

0:29:470:29:50

giving interviews on television.

0:29:500:29:52

And, um, the BBC knew that we wanted him arrested

0:29:520:29:58

and warned him one hour ago. How did they get story?

0:29:580:30:02

I have no idea. I hope you're not implying that...

0:30:020:30:05

Tell me, why it is that the Danish Prime Minister has chosen to stand by a terrorist

0:30:050:30:11

instead of the next chairman of the OSDD.

0:30:110:30:13

He has still not been arrested.

0:30:180:30:20

-Do the lives of eight Turgisian policemen mean nothing to you?

-Of course they do.

0:30:200:30:25

And I do want to help you, but I cannot pre-empt a police investigation.

0:30:250:30:30

-INTERMISSION BELL RINGS

-The Prime Minister can order Bayanov detained

0:30:300:30:34

until the police investigate the matter.

0:30:340:30:36

-No.

-A lack of goodwill on your part must force me

0:30:360:30:40

to reconsider my investment in Danish wind energy.

0:30:400:30:44

Why should I place a billion euros

0:30:460:30:50

in a country that does not care for my people's security?

0:30:500:30:54

I strongly recommend immediate action

0:30:540:30:57

-and the arrest of Bayanov.

Thank you.

What will happen to Bayanov if we hand him over?

0:48:290:48:33

Let's not discuss that on a day of celebration like this.

0:48:340:48:38

I can't hand him over if you won't tell me.

0:48:380:48:40

It's up to the Turgisian people,

0:48:400:48:43

and the Turgisian legal system to decide.

0:48:430:48:46

I mean no offence, Mr President, but I need to know more than that.

0:48:480:48:51

Let me ask you a question.

0:48:560:48:58

Why do you consider yourself...

0:48:580:49:02

a better and more democratic leader than I?

0:49:020:49:07

-Why would you ask me that?

-I think you know.

0:49:070:49:11

How old is Danish democracy? 160 years?

0:49:110:49:14

Ours is 20 years old.

0:49:140:49:17

It takes time, Mrs Prime Minister.

0:49:170:49:19

It takes time.

0:49:190:49:21

The Turgisian people are not used to being asked,

0:49:210:49:25

they're used to being told.

0:49:250:49:27

It is in the DNA of my people to obey the leader.

0:49:270:49:31

So, if I understand you correctly...

0:49:340:49:36

..it is you, isn't it, Mr President, who will decide what will happen to Bayanov?

0:49:370:49:42

-Oh, are we playing games, Mrs Prime Minister?

-I hope not.

0:49:420:49:45

There's a man's life at stake here.

0:49:450:49:47

When our democracy is 160 years old, we can talk.

0:49:470:49:51

Until then, I will not take any more arrogant lessons from you.

0:49:510:49:55

You still haven't answered my question.

0:49:550:49:57

I expect you to hand over Bayanov before I sign any contract with North Wind.

0:49:570:50:01

Oh, by the way,

0:50:050:50:08

I understand it is your custom to pick the journalists yourself at press conferences.

0:50:080:50:14

-Yes.

-Well, I have favour to ask of you.

0:50:140:50:17

Here is...

0:50:230:50:25

a list of journalists that I do not wish to take questions from.

0:50:250:50:29

Please, respect that.

0:50:290:50:31

My nation believes in the principle of free press and will uphold

0:50:330:50:38

and defend this in our constitution.

0:50:380:50:40

Do you recognise it?

0:50:400:50:43

It's part of the OSDD Treaty that you're signing today as the new chairman.

0:50:430:50:48

There is a time and place for free press and critical journalism.

0:50:480:50:51

Today is not one of them.

0:50:510:50:53

No more games, Mrs Prime Minister.

how strong is the evidence against Bayanov?

That would be a question for the Danish police. I cannot comment on that.

0:52:140:52:19

Was that the last question?

0:52:190:52:21

Before we end this press conference, I'd like to say that the president and I

0:52:220:52:27

have noticed the criticism in the international media

0:52:270:52:30

concerning the fact that Turgisia is taking over the chairmanship

0:52:300:52:34

for the Organisation for Security and Democratic Development.

0:52:340:52:39

But, I'd like to quote President Grozin, from his inauguration speech from 1996.

0:52:390:52:46

"Democracy is not a principle you can bend. It's either-or, it's yes or no.

0:52:460:52:51

0:52:510:52:54
