I would like to bring attention of my colleagues from United Kingdom and Serbia to the fact that the case of Azerbaijan in the Council of Europe is a vivid example of a member that not only failed to become more democratic and open... 30/09/2024 | 17:51:07 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Mister President, It's been a year since the ethnic cleansing of Armenians in Nagorno Karabakh.

We have to avoid the... 18/04/2024 | 18:12:13 Dear colleagues, Armenia is the closest of the Council's country to the Middle East, so everything that happens and can happen there is critically important and has an impact on my country. We are also very concerned because hundreds of thousands of Armenians live in the countries of the region.
