Last speeches

26/01/2023 | 19:54:23 Thank you, Mister President. I really hear and listen to all the speeches. I feel so sorry that some members of this distinguished Assembly forget about the basic principles of international law. Dear colleagues, The Lachin road and Karabakh is a sovereign territory of Azerbaijan. I would like to remind you of this. I will speak about the road and about the story that the Armenian side is trying to portray here. But before that I would like to remind you of something, which this Assembly... 25/01/2023 | 12:12:43 Thank you, Madam Chair. Dear Colleagues, The resolution feels like a breath of fresh air after the pandemic scaremongering and a series of disturbing reports and resolutions undermining freedom of speech and human rights produced by our Assembly. We are finally getting back to our core mission, which is defending human rights, not undermining them. During the last few years, we substantially retreated the standard of human rights.

Sadly, today, after 30 years, we seem to be further away from this noble goal. A reform of the Council of Europe is long due. The world changed... 14/10/2022 | 13:21:00 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear colleagues, There have been lots of accusations and finger pointing from Arm and Az delegations, so I don’t want to make loud statements, I want to give you couple of facts. It has been almost 2 years since the end of war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. There are ups and downs in the negotiations process and recently we heard some encouraging news from the European summit in Prague where both Armenia and Azerbaijan participated and...
