12/10/2023 | 20:15:33 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) The conflict which lasted more than 30 years, is coming to an end. Azerbaijan has achieved the liberation of the occupied lands, and now the final stage is being implemented peacefully. Those who today make ineffective attempts to rekindle the extinguished stove, bear the same responsibility as those who forced the Armenian people to endure this disaster in the late 1980s. İn this conflict which lasted more than 30 years and claimed the lives... 12/10/2023 | 16:56:11 Thank you, Chair.  Dear colleagues, Everyone cares that there are no conflicts between peoples and countries, and if there are, they should be ended or urgent measures should be taken to end them as soon as possible.

In my opinion, we are experiencing an important stage in European history, a period of serious transition. I believe that the ongoing developments in the South Caucasus will be benefitted as a model for building peace in many other places in the future. The main node is broken, the cause of the conflict no longer... 22/06/2023 | 19:44:38 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   In the light of the ongoing negotiation process between Armenia and Azerbaijan on the normalisation of interstate relations, unfortunately, the current report is untimely, unfair and inaccurate.
