20/06/2023 | 16:31:54 Thank you very much, Madam President. I am also speaking as a rapporteur for the national political reform process in Belarus, the report process here in the Council of Europe.

Session after session, we finally, during the final days, we have the discussion about the desperate conflict between two nations –Azeris, Armenians– who have lived centuries close to each other, that there is a war, tensions and problems.
