Declarations of interest regarding election observations (if applicable)
01/10/2026 | 10:56:02 Dear colleagues, Dear young colleagues, On behalf of the Socialists, Democrats and Greens Group (SOC) I would like to thank our rapporteur, Ms Aurora FLORIDIA, for the great, timely and highly practical report. What I particularly value is that it puts a human face on what can otherwise become a very technical debate. We speak about temperatures, emissions. Yet behind these numbers are people: a farmer facing another drought, a family struggling with rising costs, and a child who will live... 28/09/2026 | 16:22:08 Sorry, if I may continue. And the last. The bishops are not arrested for being bishops. There are criminal cases against them. It is not us to decide, it is the court to decide the final result. However, these criminal cases are about alleged terroristic acts against civilians. The people of Armenia. I now want to refer in this 1 1/2 minutes to the report and once again say thank you to the rapporteur. Let me begin with what must be the starting point of this debate.

And I cannot help myself but note that the remarks we heard a few minutes ago here suggesting that the media merely reflects the great reality of predefined roles for men and women are making this report all the more valuable and timely. So, once again, thank you, Yevheniia, for this report. As parliamentarians, we often focus on laws and institutions. But stereotypes are... 21/04/2026 | 10:49:59 Thank you honourable Chair. Distinguished colleagues, When we discuss violence and hate speech against politicians, we are not discussing the fragility of individual egos. We are discussing the fragility of democracy itself. The report before us is right: when a politician is attacked because of her or his public role, democracy is attacked as well. In Armenia, we know this not in theory, but in experience. On the night of 9 November 2020, then Speaker of Parliament Ararat MIRZOYAN was...
