20/11/2020 | 17:15:15 Thank you, Mr President. I would like to first congratulate Mr Koloman BRENNER for this very timely and much needed and wonderful report and resolution. I myself was an academic before I joined formal politics so that's why I very carefully read every single sentence a couple of times. It seems that the report does have two main arguments. On the one hand it is the argument about the commercialization of academic institutions, a process whereby knowledge becomes a commodity. By commodity I... 03/10/2019 | 15:47:26 Thank you, Madam Chair. This summer we have seen protests in Russia against the government's crackdown on the opposition, in the run-up to the Moscow city council elections. Detentions, police violence, disqualification or arrest of opposition candidates have greatly undermined the legitimacy of these elections. Russian authorities have violated the freedom of speech, the right to assembly and peaceful protest, and the right to have a fair and free election: the fundamentals of any democratic... 28/06/2019 | 10:17:51 I would also like to thank Madam Rapporteur for this quality work. It nicely summarises some of the main issues that relate to the Syrian conflict, which is now in the eighth year and cost dearly to the peoples of Syria.

I also would like to thank Mr Rapporteur for the effort and time he put into the report. The report makes repeated references to the reason why the Council of Europe is having an unprecedented financial crisis as an institution: that a member state named Russia didn't fulfill some financial obligations and refused to make its annual contributions over the last three years and so we are having a huge crisis now. On the surface, this seems to be the reason but I think... 24/01/2019 | 16:25:33 I am one of the HDP deputies whom my colleagues accuse of being a terrorist. I will not go into polemics – we are having a serious debate – but I only wish that we had a mature democracy in Turkey so we could have negotiated our differences and resolved our questions at home, not carried them here. Of course, it is useless to defend myself and say that I am not a terrorist. It is really disrespectful to call colleagues that. I will briefly say something about the situation of Leyla Güven, who...
