30/09/2021 | 09:43:48 Thank you Madam Chair, good morning everyone, After the USA and NATO withdrew from Afghanistan, contrary to forecasts, unfortunately the Taliban controls the entire country since they were able to suppress the resistance in Panjshir Valley. However, the risk of internal conflict or uprising still exists. There is a chance that it could lead to a civil war. Thus, the international community must closely monitor developments in Afghanistan. It is obvious that the government announced by the... 24/06/2021 | 18:02:05 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, Regulations regarding the financing of political parties and in particular donations from foreign donors differ from country to country in Europe. In other words, we have a heterogeneous European model due to various political and historical backgrounds as well as different political traditions in members States. In brief, these regulations and their differences were born out of necessity in many member States. We can say that interference through... 22/06/2021 | 13:01:38 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear President, Dear Colleagues, I would like to thank the Rapporteur for his diligent work on such a novel and at the same time important topic. The Covid pandemic has brought about an unprecedented need to protect the health of our citizens. Covid passes or certificates are devised to officially demonstrate that an individual has been vaccinated against Covid-19, or has recovered from Covid-19, or has tested negative for covid-19 infection... 22/06/2021 | 11:14:43 Thank you, thank you Mister Chairman, As your might all acknowledge, one of the most important elements of democracy is free and democratic elections. Elections play a special role in the best manner only if every citizen is able to make conscious choices on the basis of undistorted and factual information. Freedom of expression, as well as independent, free and plural media, is no doubt indispensable for people to access the right information. Thus, freedom of expression and media freedom... 20/04/2021 | 17:56:51 Thank you, Madam President. Dear colleagues, Firstly, I must express my dissatisfaction with the way our Assembly approached the Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict. For this reason, I will begin my speech by recalling some facts. The Nagorno-Karabah region had been suffering from a Armenian occupation for three decades. As a consequence of Armenian occupation, nearly 1 billion people were forced to leave their homes. During the period of this illegal occupation, Azerbaijan's cultural heritage... 19/04/2021 | 20:01:02 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear Colleagues, Firstly, I would like to thank the rapporteur for informing us about the activities of the Bureau and the Standing Committee and preparing this report. It is very important to know what happened during the sessions because it enables us with a future projection. Additionally, I want to express my pleasure for having Mr President of the Assembly in Turkey and for having opportunities for opening new dialogue channels between... 28/01/2021 | 13:30:54 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear President, Dear Colleagues, Ethnic profiling becomes a common policing tool through the European countries, which targets the ethnic or religious minorities. It is for sure that stop and search checks based on skin color or a certain religious appearance constitutes not only public humiliation but also human rights abuse. As stated in the report, “First the police look for a criminal and then they look for a crime”. This shows us how... 27/01/2021 | 19:08:24 Thank you, Mister President. NGOs are fundamental to a properly functioning democracy. They have to educate the public about what governments are doing and how it can affect them. NGOs could be more effective in communicating with politicians and public agencies because when many people speak with one voice, it is easier to be heard. Therefore, I would like to thank the Rapporteur for addressing this highly important issue for all Europeans. In the report, Turkey is portrayed as a country...
