12/10/2023 | 19:50:54 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, Something wrong is going on in this Assembly. Türkiye is a founder member of this organisation. Now we are discussing what the Parliamentary Assembly should do in order to solve this problem, but is it really a problem of Türkiye? From my point of view that's not like that. Türkiye has done a lot for co-operation and communication with the European Court of Human Rights. Already my friends mentioned that hundreds of cases from the European Court... 12/10/2023 | 18:09:01 Madam President, thank you very much. I quite clearly understand how difficult it is for the rapporteur to prepare this Report under this unbelievable pressure which we can see. Unfortunately, this is exactly what we have discussed in the previous topic. Thirty years ago, ladies and gentlemen, one million Azerbaijanis became a subject of ethnic cleansing and 20% of my territory had been occupied. They had only two choices, these poor people: to run away to become refugees or IDPs, or to die... 12/10/2023 | 16:25:49 Thank you very much, Madam President. The title of this report as we can see is "Restoring credibility of the international institutions". It means that the credibility has fallen, and we should do our best in order to restore it. But why has that happened? I think the major reason is that we're talking a lot about peace, but we took very few real steps in the direction of justice. How can it be possible to create peace without justice? That is impossible. Peace without justice will be very... 10/10/2023 | 18:32:14 Madam President, dear colleagues, dear friends, Let me express my gratitude. I thank you all for this excellent debate; very important, very timely. I think this is a vivid example of how this problem is really dangerous, important and discussed in a timely way in this Assembly. For approximately one year and a half, at the level of the Committee, we have discussed this question. You know the major problem was being not so extreme when writing a report about extremism. That's really very... 10/10/2023 | 16:15:53 Thank you very much Mister President. Dear friends, dear colleagues, It is a really great privilege and honour to present this report and to see our friends and colleagues who came for this, I think, very important and fruitful discussion which we have been waiting for. Because “The challenge of far-right ideology to democracy and human rights in Europe” is really being discussed in a timely way in this hemicycle. I am really honoured that during the discussion we agreed that this report... 22/06/2023 | 18:31:17 Thank you very much, Mister President. How united are those who try to disrupt the peace? For the first time in the history of the region, two nations are so close to each other. Two nations are looking for peace, and they have done, actually, a lot in order to reach this peace. With this kind of discussion, I think that would not be so easy. This is really counterproductive to those who are living in the region. Mr Paul GAVAN said at the very beginning that his report is not about politics... 19/06/2023 | 15:52:47 Thank you, Mister President, We are proud of you, Türkiye. We are proud of you, Türkiye. You have done a really great job for democracy, for the future of the region, for stability, for your nation. You are able to manage very many threats which, unfortunately, exist in the region. It is really very strange that instead of support, we see a lot of criticism. As an immediate neighbour to Türkiye, we were able to see how difficult, how transparent and how open elections have been organised. Two... 27/04/2023 | 18:41:36 Thank you very much, Mister President, On behalf of our political group I want to express my gratitude to the rapporteur for this excellent and very timely report. Really, the time has come to think about these very essential questions. What should we do in order to protect the environment, in order to protect our values, and not only within this organisation, but using trade as a tool in order to promote democracy, human rights, and rule of law. From this point of view, you're absolutely... 26/01/2023 | 19:00:37 Thank you very much, Mister President. I would like to thank and congratulate our rapporteurs Mr Pierre-Alain FRIDEZ and Ms Inese LĪBIŅA-EGNERE for the report submitted today. Our Committee has been following the latest developments in the country with great attention. The rapporteurs have witnessed the dramatic contemporary development while preparing this monitoring report. The outbreak of the war in neighbouring Ukraine has had dramatic effects on the country, therefore, this report is not... 26/01/2023 | 18:08:20 Madam President, Actually, it's a little bit –I think– misunderstood. Mr Ruben RUBINYAN, actually, Mr Armen RUSTAMYAN presented this amendment, and of course I was against, because this amendment absolutely changed the decision and the interim decision of the European Court of Human Rights, because they are writing about the so-called unblocking. In the decision you can see "alleged", the word "alleged". That's why I was against. In this case, my President of the Committee, Mr Piero FASSINO...
