28/01/2021 | 09:51:17 Thank you, dear Chairman, Thank you, dear Colleagues, I have been in the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly since 1993. I remember the joy of 1996 when a still democratic Russia - not the current Russia - joined our institution. I remember this same chamber, and I remember the obligations which were accepted by Russia. For example, withdrawing the 14th Army from Moldova was one of the first obligations.

So we are in...
