26/01/2023 | 19:36:27 Thank you, Chair. Let me start by stating that the priority for all of us is that peace and stability should prevail in the South Caucuses. As of 2020, we see that a new year of peace and dialogue has emerged. In the last two months, there is a new tension rising in the region. Here, we have to deal with the issue from all points of view. Looking through a single and prejudiced angle, having double standards leads us to false judgments and unfair results. Today, we are discussing the claims... 12/10/2022 | 11:41:56 Thank you, Chair. I would like to thank the rapporteurs for contributing to the plurality of voices by consulting the relevant institutions in Türkiye. Türkiye is a democratic state of law with 150 years of parliamentary tradition. We have no issue that cannot be solved in terms of democracy, fundamental rights and freedoms. Although the decisions taken by the current government are decisive in the implementation of policies and international perception, our country is not limited to the... 23/06/2022 | 18:38:27 Thank you Chair, I would like to thank the rapporteur for this detailed and comprehensive work.

Russia clearly shows that it doesn't recognise international law and UN principles, and ignores the Council of Europe. It's time for honesty and self-criticism. Today we are all together standing against Russian expansionism, and we sincerely show our solidarity to Ukraine. But what did we do when it first started in Crimea? During the annexation of Crimea... 28/01/2022 | 12:40:50 Thank you, Mr Chair. We all know George Orwell's famous dystopian 1984. Much more of what is in the book is being done by the Chinese authorities against the Uyghur Turks today. Big Brother's eye sees every city, every neighbourhood, wherever they live. You might think it is exaggerated. I'll give you a few examples. Speaking their mother tongue is forbidden even in schools, where only Uyghurs attend. Students are monitored with microphones in classrooms. A warning is given the first time and...
