And it was also good to hear from you that you can do without a safe country concept, which brings me to the critical voices, where I also have the impression that... 25/06/2024 | 18:07:45 Thank you, dear President, dear members of the Assembly, dear colleagues.

What are they experiencing on their way to... 12/10/2022 | 11:28:24 Thank you, dear President, dear colleagues and especially the speaker before me. The report we discussed today leaves no space for doubts. Over the last few years, Türkiye has increasingly denied its population human rights and rule of law. Thus, on behalf of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, I would like to express deep concerns regards Türkiye's respective failure to comply with its obligations as a Council of Europe member State.
