26/06/2024 | 16:55:27 Dear colleagues and friends, I have spent more than 30 years in this Assembly. Now during the 75th year we are facing our unique phase that we are together, and we are voting in favour of mostly all the resolutions. In front of us, we have three rapporteurs. Ms Yevheniia KRAVCHUK's report is about a total annihilation and a political will to eliminate Ukrainian culture. Mr Davor Ivo STIER's report, he called in two words, I would like to cite my friend, "it's intentionally preparing the... 26/06/2024 | 10:42:47 Today is a historical day for our Assembly.

The two-state solution remains. We must not forget that this attack on this peaceful Israeli side, not on settlements, but on Israeli territories, started on 7 October with the deepest preparation. These Hamas... 17/04/2024 | 17:30:35 Thank you, Chairman. I would like to start going outside of my report and to turn to Ms Evgenia KARA-MURZA, simply using the Russian shape of your grace and your great name. So I would like to say that we started the session, President, if you remember, you asked me to start the session as the longest serving member. All my five minutes I used to warn you and to find a way how to liberate Kara-Murza. That was my first statement in January when you were not here. But all our audience was...
