31/01/2025 | 11:08:57 Mister President. Thank you. I think that the description "older person" can be quite patronising. And I don't know whether I fit into the definition or not. But what I do think is that this report has got some good points in it. And I'd like to address particularly paragraph 3 of the draft resolution which refers to this. It says "older persons experience age-based discrimination in all areas of life, especially in the workplace". And I'm going to illustrate the point here of double... 31/01/2025 | 10:10:09 Thank you, Mister President. And can I congratulate the rapporteur on this report and say that I very much support what it says. But there is one glaring omission in the report and it makes no mention of those millions of people who are suffering the wide range of Long Covid symptoms but not caused by having been infected with Covid-19 but by having had Covid-19 vaccines.

And I think it's a pity, therefore, that we are not able to have a dialogue with parliamentarians from Azerbaijan during this debate and more widely within this Assembly. And whilst I share many of the concerns expressed by Ms Lise CHRISTOFFERSEN in her opening remarks, I don't think that we should be singling out Azerbaijan and... 12/10/2023 | 19:42:10 Thank you, Mister President. On 29 October Türkiye will be celebrating the centenary of its foundation as a modern democracy with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. What better way could President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan mark this centenary than by releasing Mr Osman Kavala and thereby helping to reestablish Türkiye's commitment to the rule of law? As others have said, Ms Kavala spoke eloquently, and I thought with incredible restraint, at the meeting of our Committee about her husband's plight after the... 12/10/2023 | 17:41:59 Mister President, this is a really important debate. And displaced people always leads to a tragic situation and we are talking here about 100 000 being displaced in Nagorno-Karabakh and just in the last week 150 000 people or more have been displaced in Gaza. And we know that over the last two or three years perhaps 300 000 people have been forced to leave the Russian Federation and have gone to Armenia. And the fact that this is happening all over the world doesn't make it any more...
