20/04/2021 | 14:54:44 Let me start with the first question, which is about the Istanbul Convention. Of course, I imagine that the question was pulled by the fact that, unfortunately, Turkey has announced the denouncing of this gold standard, which I deeply share your opinion on this important human rights instrument. Let me say that this is the first time in the history of this organisation that a member State is withdrawing from a human rights instrument of these fundamental values. This is really a big, I would... 20/04/2021 | 14:46:05 Thank you very much. I absolutely agree that it's always especially in the family of 47 to talk with them about, but sometimes both approaches are needed.

From the outset of the hostilities, our position has been clear. We were gravely concerned about the events and underlined that on joining the Organisation, the two countries had undertaken to resolve the territorial conflict through peaceful means. This tragic conflict claimed both civilian and military lives and caused suffering and destruction. Everything has to be done now to arrive at a... 25/01/2021 | 16:53:44 Thank you very much. So, starting with access to Crimea. I didn't say that the Council of Europe couldn't go to Crimea, but that the visit to Ukraine of the commissioner to discuss that was postponed because of Covid-19.
