26/06/2026 | 10:39:05 Madam Chair, Dear Colleagues, The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit will take place in Türkiye next month. Many journalists from different political views applied for accreditation to cover the summit. Only those who work for pro-government media were accredited. Everyone else received the same message. I quote, "I regret to say that your request for media accreditation cannot be granted this time. I cannot discuss the reasons for this decision, which is final." Many of those... 25/06/2026 | 16:14:24 Thank you. I would like to thank the rapporteur, Ms Aysu BANKOĞLU, for preparing such an important report in such a short period of time. Access to justice for women and girls remains one of the most urgent challenges facing all member states. Because access to justice determines whether rights are real or merely theoretical. Because, if women encounter gender bias, institutional failures, poor co-ordination, or ineffective investigations when seeking protection, then their rights, including... 24/06/2026 | 13:01:28 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   When the media landscape was limited to television, newspapers, magazines, and radio, it seemed possible to tackle the problem by establishing rules and setting ethical standards for those platforms.

People inside were exposed to tear gas. Then nine of our MPs were expelled from the party. Leaders of our local organisations, youth and women organisations, were removed from office. We hear that politicians from Mr Recep Tayyip ERDOĞAN’s party are telling you that this is an internal party matter. Colleagues, Let’s talk about the facts. One month before the ruling, Mr... 24/04/2026 | 10:52:07 Dear Madam President, Dear colleagues, Today I would like to talk to you about two scandalous statements from the so-called "democratic" world. Firstly, two days ago we witnessed the European Union's (EU) ignorance of Türkiye. Ms Ursula VON DER LEYEN declared that she considered Türkiye to be a threat in the same way as Russia and China. Türkiye is a candidate country to the European Union. It is also a founding member of the Council of Europe. Yes, it is governed by an anti-democratic regime...
