21/06/2023 | 18:45:07 Dear Colleagues, First of all, I would like to thank you all for your interventions and your thoughts and speeches. It is very useful, and it was very useful to listen to all of you. Dear Colleagues, I believe that a diverse and wider Europe is a stronger Europe. That is why the speech by our colleague was very disturbing. We should not think like that. We should stand by human rights, because we share these values. Refugees, IDPs and migrants need to be supported. I believe that sport is a... 21/06/2023 | 17:00:14 Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Colleagues, I have the honour to present you my draft resolution on the social inclusion of migrants, refugees and internally displaced persons through sport.

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. It would be an oversimplification to blame solely the pandemic...
