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... 20/04/2026 | 12:18:56 Thank you, Madam President Distinguished colleagues, Speaking here today, I do so not only as a member of parliament of Armenia, but as a representative of a society that in recent years has made a very conscious – and at times –difficult choice to place democracy and peace at the heart of our statehood. Since 2018, Armenia's democratic path has not been linear, nor has it been easy. It has been tested by war, by regional instability and by internal pressures. And yet it has endured and... 02/10/2025 | 20:38:03 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Thank you, Mister President. And huge thank you, Mr Stefan SCHENNACH.

And thank you, dear Ingjerd for this timely report, but also for the long years of dedicated work in our organization. There is little chance that any one will not notice or not be concerned about the fall of democracy, faced not only in Europe, but also at different parts of the world. And the role of parties is vital in challenging this tendency. Surely I am talking about those who share the concerns about... 29/09/2025 | 16:56:53 Thank you Madam President. The last time I was addressing this very respectful hemicycle, Armenia and Azerbaijan were still on their way to making peace. Today, the peace agreement is pre-signed and peace is established between Armenia and Azerbaijan. This however is not the end of the story, but a reality that needs to be nurtured, and taken care of on a daily basis. When we say 'nurtured', the first is not to harm; to avoid using narratives that contradict the achievement of the agreement...
