09/04/2025 | 20:11:19 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) The role of the European Court of Human Rights in safeguarding human rights is beyond dispute. But in the interest of the very justice we all champion, we must be careful about how we present statistical data on the implementation of the judgements of the Court. In 2024, Türkiye is recorded as having 137 pending leading cases – the highest in absolute terms. At first glance, this may seem alarming. Still, I would like to emphasize that... 29/01/2025 | 11:22:08 Thank you, Madam President. Dear colleagues, I would like to thank the rapporteur for this well-crafted report, which underscores the essential role of history education in fostering democratic citizenship. In today’s Europe, where societies face increasing polarisation, and where we witness the alarming rise of xenophobia, hate crimes and discrimination, it is vital for young people to engage with the past in a way that is free of prejudice.

The aggression against Ukraine is a blatant violation of the UN Charter... 27/06/2024 | 16:20:32 Thank you, Mr President. Dear colleagues, I would like to start by correcting one serious misconception: The intervention of Türkiye in 1974, is in fact the consequence, not the cause, of the Cyprus problem. It’s an undeniable fact that Turkish Cypriots were subject to severe human rights violations and even massacres until Türkiye’s intervention took place. The tragedy of the Turkish community started much earlier, in 1955, when the terrorist organisation EOKA launched a bloody campaign with... 18/04/2024 | 17:56:31 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, It has been more than six months. Almost 34 000 civilians, including international aid workers and journalists have been killed. Almost 2 million people have been forcibly displaced and civilian homes and structures, such as hospitals and schools, are deliberately targeted and destroyed. If we are sincerely willing to respond to the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, we must first agree on this –  supporting Palestinians, protecting their rights or...
