21/06/2021 | 19:03:25 Thank you, Madam Chair. I had the honour to preside over the debate as the vice-Chairman of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights and try to fit in the very big shoes of my esteemed colleague Mr Boriss CILEVIČS who was the rapporteur. My job here is just to give you a subjective a flavour of what went on in the proceedings of the Committee. You already have got a very big flavour of that in the debate here. I have some very strong views about the matters that were hotly debated... 22/04/2021 | 12:25:27 Thank you, thank you, Mr Speaker. I will put my prepared speech aside because I prefer to respond to some of the things that my Turkish and Azeri colleagues have just said.

We are proud in Greece for what we...
