12/10/2023 | 20:16:02 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Thank you President, And thank you to our rapporteur. You have managed to present a thorough report on this very urgent matter in a short time. I join my colleagues in the condemnation of the military operation launched by Azerbaijan on 19. September. Our Assembly has reacted on the blockade of the Lachin-corridor. We have spoken up on the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh – numerous times. From the Parliamentary Assembly we have encouraged, and... 12/10/2023 | 19:35:50 Thank you, Mister President. It is with a heavy heart that I take the floor in this debate. Mr Osman Kavala should have been released from prison several years ago already. He should not have been arrested in the first place. It is not the first time our Assembly has called for his release. I am afraid that it will not be the last. I can only hope that the Turkish authorities will prove me wrong. With this urgent debate, we join the Committee of Ministers in their call for Mr Osman Kavala’s... 11/10/2023 | 16:44:13 Dear President and colleagues, as said in the statement by the Nordic Baltic Chairs of delegations, Hamas' horrendous attack on Israeli towns last Saturday must be condemned in the strongest terms.

Having Kosovo on our agenda is timely and important, especially given the escalation of tension we have seen lately, as well as our process of considering the country's application for membership of our organisation. Mister President, I'd join my colleagues here in this hemicycle in condemning the attack on the monastery in the north of Kosovo. Both sides must do their upmost to keep the level of conflict low, to lower tension and return to dialogue. Only through... 22/06/2023 | 17:05:23 Thank you, Madam President. This is an important debate. I congratulate Ms Linda Hofstad HELLELAND on her work and call on you all to support the draft resolution. Now I would like to start with the conclusion. As long as there is war in Ukraine, Russian and Belarusian athletes cannot be allowed to participate in the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris next year. Allowing them to participate under a neutral flag or banner is not acceptable either. Our Assembly must take a clear position on...
