Famous quotes by Meles Zenawi:

"What we have is a pattern of prevarication, a pattern of trying to draw out the process and consolidate the hold on our territory, ... If that's the case -- and it appears to be the case -- then the opportunities for resolving this problem peacefully could be fast disappearing."

"We have no intention of playing fast and loose with this document, with the OAU process, ... We only hope that this time around the other side really means what it says."

"We shall negotiate while fighting. We shall fight while negotiating, ... Whichever road leads to peace quickly will be the road we follow."

"We shall negotiate while we fight and we shall fight while we negotiate,"

"I regret the deaths but these were not normal demonstrations. You don't see hand grenades thrown at normal demonstrations,"

"We are aware of the buildup in TSZ. The scale has increased in recent days and this is a matter of concern to us,"

"We have taken measures and beefed up our defense capabilities around the border since December to prevent any miscalculation by the other side,"

"The EU report speaks for itself. The statement in my view shows that the mission has turned out to be something worse than a farce, ... We shall in the coming days and weeks see what we can do to expose the pack of lies and innuendoes that characterise the garbage in this report."

"What the implications of this will be in terms of relations between Ethiopia and the EU we will have to wait and see. But I don't think you will be surprised if Ethiopia were to insist that it should not be patronised."

"What the implications of this will be in terms of relations between Ethiopia and the European Union, we will have to wait and see but I don't think you will be surprised if Ethiopia were to insist that it should not be patronised,"
