24/06/2021 | 16:38:41 Thank you very much. The point is already made. This is a historical moment and this is the basis for a new approach from the Council of Europe as well. Mr Momodou Malcolm JALLOW's report here will be a starting point for further actions to prevent this kind of Afrophobia that we have in our countries. The form of the discrimination is different. It is direct sometimes, indirect sometimes, institutional sometimes. In Sweden, we have problems here, in Sweden, as well, of course. We have the... 24/06/2021 | 11:53:11 Thank you very much. I think this is one of the most important discussions we have had. We make references to the work of the European Union when it comes to trying to find solutions to these problems but I do think that we cannot leave this only to the discussions in the EU structure. We have to take a more active role on this because this is a really, very, very important matter and coming very close to our principles, not least for human rights. I like the reference to the term solidarity... 22/04/2021 | 12:44:16 With reference to what Mr John HOWELL has just said, this is not a question of punishing Turkey, not at all. We are aiming at a dialogue with the authorities there. I hope there will be discussion about how to resolve the very serious problems that we have listed in our report, but it is not a question of being anti-Turkish at all. In fact, both of us have good friends in that very country. May I also emphasise that there is no tendency at all to support terrorism in this report. There is no... 22/04/2021 | 11:40:54 Thank you very much. We prepared this urgent procedure report on the request of 5 political group leaders in the assembly. We worked on this report in the spirit of dialogue and coordination, cooperation really. I want to thank all members of the Turkish delegation for good cooperation. This new report is actually triggered by recent and worrying developments in Turkey. We have undermined their democracy, rule of law, and human rights. That is of course in the report. A procedure has started... 27/01/2021 | 16:50:14 Thank you very much. My focus is human rights and in human rights we are supported by the agreements which have been reached earlier on. The court we have is an extremely important body and I think it should be obvious that every decision taken by our court should be respected by the member states. So for me there is no question about that point when it comes to this discussion. The ruling of the Court should be reflected and this of course will be one of the major issues if that is not acted...
