12/10/2023 | 20:20:22 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear Colleagues, We condemn the aggravating life sentence handed down to Osman Kavala, a Turkish philanthropist and prominent human rights defender. The continuous unjust, unlawful and illegitimate detention of Mr. Kavala after the Council of Europe launched infringement proceedings against Turkey for refusing to implement the legally binding judgment of the European Court of Human Rights to release Mr Kavala, is outrageous. The allegations... 12/10/2023 | 20:15:35 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear Colleagues, I would like to thank Mr. Hajduković for a precise and informative Report. At the last session, we were discussing the need to ensure free and safe access of the Lachin corridor. Many of us had warned of impeding ethnic cleansing due to the horrific living conditions imposed on the Armenian population, including the denial of basic human rights, even to children.

An attack that is completely in line and in tune with the modus operandi of ISIS, Al Quada, the Taliban and Daesh. Let no one be mistaken. This has nothing to do with anyone’s right to self – determination. It has to do with war crimes. It has to do with the... 22/06/2023 | 18:22:31 Thank you Mister President. Dear Colleagues, First of all I would like to congratulate the rapporteur Mr Paul GAVAN, whose meticulous work, although impeded and unjustly hindered, as is explained in his report, as he was not able to travel to the Lachin corridor, has not managed to prevent him from accurately finding facts and producing this excellent report. It is inconceivable for a member state of this Organisation not to allow a rapporteur to visit its territory on a fact-finding mission...
