26/04/2023 | 19:06:00 Thank you, Madam Chair. Honourable Colleagues, First of all, let me express my words of gratitude and congratulate Mr Constantinos EFSTATHIOU for this report. I would just ask a rhetorical question. Why after 70 years of the existence of the European Court of Human Rights and of this organisation are we still discussing the issue of implementation – or rather non-implementation of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights? Why is it still not a taboo? Why can we still not say to... 27/01/2023 | 10:25:17 Thank you, Madam Chair. Some 15 years ago, when I was a young researcher, I was invited as an expert to a moot court competition in IHL [International Humanitarian Law] which was titled "Game of Drones". I think that it is something unrealistic. It is impossible to have drones flying, killing, deciding something. It is something which would never happen. I should confess at that time I was very naïve. I'm not very naive now. I would like just to say that, unfortunately, because nobody knows... 26/01/2023 | 19:42:56 Thank you, Mister Chair. Now it is even more clear. Thank you, Mister JAFAROV. You actually said a very important thing, you said that Nagorno-Karabakh is under siege. And I would like to title my speech with the one Greek word from the Bible: "Exodus, Exodus, Exodus". What you are demanding it's exodus of all the Armenian population. This is your aim. Look, first, nobody of you speaking here are trying to say that there is no blockade. Actually, where.. said something to prove that it's open... 26/01/2023 | 17:17:19 Thank you, Madam Chair. First of all, let me express my words of gratitude to the Monitoring Committee and the rapporteur for the excellent work done. Thank you for identifying the common problems we face.; problems concerning the judiciary, corruption, elections, which unfortunately, are still a part of our lives and our part of the monitoring procedure. For sure, during this period, some countries have bigger and better success in comparison with others. Some countries still have some... 25/01/2023 | 11:58:59 Thank you, Madam Chair. Dear colleagues, Today, I am presenting the opinion of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights on the report of the Committee on Culture, Science, Education and Media on contact tracing applications prepared by Mr Duncan BAKER. The report considers specifically the ethical, cultural and educational challenges of such applications. The report, in my view, is a helpful contribution to considering the important issues and challenges posed by digital health... 24/01/2023 | 17:27:29 Thank you, Madam Chair. We are speaking about a historical upcoming event. We are speaking about the Reykjavik Summit and we understand that something is going wrong in our organisation and in this Assembly. But simultaneously, we are trying to find somebody who is guilty for what is going on. But I do believe that we should somehow use the Mea culpa approach. We should, first of all, look at our faults. When we are speaking about values, when we are speaking about human rights and... 14/10/2022 | 11:36:18 Thank you, Madam Chair. Covid-19 drastically changed our life. I remember the first day of dissemination of this disease when everybody everywhere dreamed to have a vaccine, to get this vaccine and to be alive. Because everybody was scared, everybody dreamed about getting anything any medicine against it, and it was a terror incognita for all of us. Fortunately, and unfortunately, when the first vaccines arrived, we faced the problem of different ambitions from many countries, many... 11/10/2022 | 19:54:09 Thank you Madam Chair. Every time when I am addressing the issue concerning visa regulations I remember the famous Erich Maria Remarque's Arch of Triumph, I try to understand how it was important for Europe in this last century to pass away from the very complicated system of getting a visa to travel to each other's countries, up to the establishment of the system where each and every EU citizen is allowed to travel inside of the European Union, as well as giving the priority, giving the... 10/10/2022 | 16:59:56 Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, Dear Colleagues. I would like to express the words of gratitude to all the political groups supporting and actually reflecting the reality. I would like to address Mr Samad SEYIDOV on the issues he raised. Mr Samad SEYIDOV, you are playing a very complicated role. You cannot even understand how far I [do not] understand you. How it is possible for many years to defend evil. In any case it's your choice, but here we are in the organisational values, and let's... 24/06/2022 | 11:33:48 Thank you, Madam Chair. It used to be said that the best way of defence is attacking somebody and unfortunately trying to keep the calm situation in this Hemicycle until now. Our Azeri colleagues are trying to attack us now. I'm obliged to answer. I would like just to say, first of all, Madam Nigar ARPADARAI, we were, we are, and we will be open for opening all kinds of communication and transportation in our region. This is the first, but ladies and gentlemen, international law is not just a...
