24/06/2026 | 16:56:30 Thank you, Mr Chairman. Dear colleagues, Having read this Report, it is clear that we are witnessing a systemic failure in Azerbaijan's compliance with any fundamental human rights standards. I am therefore encouraged that this Assembly is resisting calls to ease pressure on a member state that continues to fall significantly short of its obligations. Adherence to the European Convention on Human Rights is not optional, nor is it something that can be applied selectively. It is a binding... 23/06/2026 | 11:43:32 Madam Speaker. Dear colleagues, We're here once again stating the obvious – stating what should be an undisputable obligation for all of us, the strict observance of the rule of law, of democracy, respect and implementation of all European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) decisions by all states that wish to be members of this esteemed organisation.

The recent arrest of Ekrem İmamoğlu has sent shockwaves across the nation, reigniting memories of the Gezi Park protests and laying bare the fragility of democratic institutions under the current regime. Yet, let us not fall into the trap of treating this arrest as an isolated event. It is but... 30/01/2025 | 16:26:45 Thank you, Madam President. First of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the rapporteur for her important work in preparing this report.
