30/09/2025 | 11:42:05 Thank you. We are here in this Council to address the issue of democracy, rule of law and inclusive dialogue in Türkiye, or the lack of it. On numerous occasions, myself, on behalf of the United European Left, and most of you, have all questioned the Turkish state regarding the long-standing violations of international law against its neighbouring countries like Greece, Cyprus, Syria, Iraq, Armenia, and of course, against the rule of law against its citizens. On numerous occasions we asked... 09/04/2025 | 12:47:42 Thank you, Mister Minister. The political turmoil which has overwhelmed Syria and the emergence of radical Islamists, Islamist groups nurtured by Turkey to dominate the revolutionary scene, and now the administration, has fuelled fears among the Christians, in particular those who live close to the group's areas of influence. These fears have materialised and the ongoing atrocities being committed against Christians and other religious and ethnic minorities leading to elimination, seem not to... 27/06/2024 | 16:27:29 Thank you President. Dear colleagues, I will start by welcoming the initiative behind this Resolution and Mr Piero FASSINO's attempt to be fair.

As a member of this Parliamentary Assembly, and as a women defending the values of rule of law, democracy and human rights, it is my... 25/06/2024 | 16:08:08 Thank you, Mister President. Mister UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, I welcome you as well on behalf of the United European Left in the Council of Europe. 2024 marks the 50th dark anniversary of the illegal invasion of Türkiye in Cyprus. Cyprus and its people have been suffering for five decades the persistent violation of human rights and of humanitarian law, amidst the violation of international law. In specific: The fate of almost 1 000 persons still missing; Almost 1/3 of the... 12/10/2022 | 17:05:25 Yes, because Prime Minister Edi RAMA is now gone. I would like to say that I'm not just a lady who took the floor. My name is Ms Nina KASIMATI. I was introduced by you, and I am the representative and the spokesperson of the Group of the Unified European Left at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. In this capacity, I posed the question to Prime Minister Edi RAMA. The question was not posed on behalf of Greece but on behalf of the group, and I'm really sorry for that matter...
