02/10/2026 | 10:25:08 Thank you, Mister Chair. Dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to thank the rapporteur for her work and the Committee on Rules, Ethics and Immunities for tabling the motion. Safeguarding the principle of parliamentary autonomy has required centuries of struggle, leading to the development of parliamentary immunities and parliamentary discipline. Parliamentary discipline is not merely about measures. On the one hand, it safeguards the proper functioning of parliament; on the other, it... 01/10/2026 | 17:45:48 Thank you, Madam Chair. Dear colleagues, People detained as part of operations carried out under the name "My Family is Safe" are asking a very simple question? Is my family not a family too?

Greece has made significant progress in the ratification of instruments of the Council of Europe, including the Istanbul Convention. At the same time, I would like to draw attention to the protection of minority rights and the full implementation of the judgements of the European Court of Human Rights, which are directly linked to the credibility of our organisation... 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...
