03/10/2025 | 11:22:57 Thank you, Mister Chair. "The military and civilian authorities of members and friendly states are requested to extend all national facilities to the bearer of the present card in carrying out his or her duties to allow him or her to pass without delay or hindrance, and in case of need, to accord all necessary lawful assistance and protection". This is the document each of us get when we become members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, which we call a laissez-passer. I'm... 01/10/2025 | 17:21:11 I broke the logic, but I'm here. Honourable Chair, Dear colleagues, First of all, let me congratulate Lord Richard KEEN for the very balanced and topical report. No right can be derived from violation of law. This is one of the main principles of any national legal system and one of the core pillars of modern international law.

I would like to say that it is a crucial step not only for our Parliamentary Assembly, but also for Kazakhstan to have such a balanced resolution on further democratic developments. Europe is a geographical notion, but the Council of Europe is something about values, something about democracy, something about responsibility. This is not just an elite club for privileges... 25/06/2025 | 19:55:29 Thank you, Mr Chair. First of all, I would like to congratulate Mr Titus CORLĂŢEAN, the rapporteur, for this excellent opinion. It's a bit of a pity, I would like just to say that, when we are discussing the statutory opinions –  actually about the binding legal instruments which should be adopted by the Council of Europe – and we have less interest in this report than we have in other cases where we have just the documents of the recommendation nature. So I would like to encourage all of you...
