30/01/2020 | 17:21:55 Mr. Speaker, Dear colleagues, The subject of our discussion today is very topical, but I do not know if we can seek and find an effective solution. It is very difficult. The governments of the member states of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe must do what is necessary to prevent the disappearance of millions of refugee and migrant children worldwide. It's in the best interests of the children. As all member states of the Council of Europe are parties to the United Nations... 29/01/2020 | 19:25:11 Dear colleagues, First of all, I find this report by Mr KOX very positive. We must not limit the mandate and the rights of the Russian delegation. I understand the various aspects of our colleague's presentation. But again, I want to stress that the Russian delegation must be here. I am not against discussing various issues, but I believe that the agenda of the Assembly should not repeat itself and present artificially created content from scratch. With regard to our discussion concerning the... 27/01/2020 | 15:44:57 Thank you, Mr President, First of all, I would like to offer my congratulations to the new President of our Assembly. Secondly, I would like to say that Mr SEYIDOV's presentation is total disinformation. For in Azerbaijan there is no progress on xenophobia. But I think very sincerely that in today's world, problems related to security, to global warming, are apparently more important. Today, I am going to talk about global warming. The uncontrolled growth of the economy has shown that States... 04/10/2019 | 12:46:24 Madame President, Dear colleagues, I must note something very unacceptable for the culture and standards of our organization. Mr. Rafik HUSSEYNOV and Ms FATALIYEVA present something that is very provocative. The territory, the region of Nagorno-Karabakh, now Artsakh, is the origin, the region, the country of Armenians who lived in Nagorno-Karabakh, who now live in Nagorno-Karabakh and who will still live in Nagorno-Karabakh. The proof of this question, of this problem, are the churches, the... 04/10/2019 | 11:23:52 Thank you, Madame President. Dear colleagues, First, I want to say that for every country in the former Soviet Union, this problem is very current. Why current? Because we have to understand the main cause that creates labour migration, this is very important. I think, in my opinion that the great cause for labour migration is the difference between the standards of living and between average and minimum wages and this is natural. But the size of labour migration depends on the position of...
