23/01/2023 | 16:09:18 Thank you, Mr President. I want to thank the work of the Bureau and the Standing Committee for all this period. I think that our organisation is a real forward organisation, not only in Europe but in the whole world. As well as we were the first who excluded the Russian Federation from more organs of the Council of Europe, especially from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, we were the first organisation that in a previous session, did everything in order to recognise the... 13/10/2022 | 12:10:06 "We have already fulfilled all our tasks for today". This was the phrase of bloody dictator Putin, which he announced the same day when the biggest missile attack destroyed hospitals, energy systems, in the twelve biggest cities of Ukraine. So it was his reaction when he know that any one military object was destroyed. But he fulfilled all his tasks. Second, if you can imagine what is now on occupied territories, where tortures, each day tortures, by the secret services of Russia against... 11/10/2022 | 11:29:41 Thank you Mr President, thank you Mr Rapporteur. I think that Mr George PAPANDREOU found a lot of answers fortunately to very complicated questions, but unfortunately we have more questions than answers. So this discussion is very important not only to the Western Balkans; it's very important to the whole European Union and to all unions of European peoples. First of all, of course it's a war of civilisations. When my previous colleagues mentioned the new fascist regime of Putin in Russia... 22/06/2022 | 17:15:36 Thank you, Mister Chairman. I want to start my speech and say thank you to all of you: to politicians, to your governments, to millions of your citizens who are doing all in order to protect Ukrainians, Syrians, and a lot of other nations from the atrocities of war. The bloody dictator Putin can't even imagine that we will be so united in such circumstances. Now, when a lot of children and women in Europe find their relatives, real relatives, they never saw these people before, but they... 21/06/2022 | 10:50:42 Thank you, Mister President. Dear Colleagues, I think that it is only the beginning of the serious work that we started from this report. It is impossible to have security in Europe and the whole world without the security of whole organisations that had to provide peace and stability in Europe and the whole world. Who could imagine at the beginning of the 2000s, that a dictator would come to power in Russia and become a fascist dictator? We cannot even imagine that, at the beginning of the... 28/04/2022 | 11:55:17 Thank you. War is war – but even the war has its own laws. And the violation of these laws is the most horrible thing in the world because when it is a violation of other laws, it can be done by some street gangs but now we see that the main gangster, the main terrorists, is a state: the Russian State. It is organised by the Russian President, the Russian Government, the Russian Parliament, by all Russian authorities and it is the responsibility of the whole state. When we hear horrible... 27/04/2022 | 16:28:57 Thank you, Mr President. I just arrived a few hours ago from Ukraine to Strasbourg and it is impossible to understand. This situation where it is another air blowing in the trees. It is another sun. It is not so red from the blood of our children and our women. It is not so black from the attack of Russian missiles. As well, for example, for me, it is impossible to understand how it is to be under the rocket and bomb attacks in Mariupol every 10 minutes – every 10 minutes. It is impossible to... 15/03/2022 | 17:56:51 Thank you very much. Dear Chairman, dear colleagues, I am just now only 30 kilometres from Kyiv, where, some hours ago we had our parliamentary session. Yes, in Kyiv were missiles and bombing, we decided to provide our parliamentary session in order to show the whole world, to our people, that we are not afraid of Putin and his regime. Just now we have alarm in Kyiv, in Chernihiv, in Vnyitsa, in Ivano-Frankivsk, in Lviv. I am not mentioning Mariupol and Kharkov where people had to provide all... 28/01/2022 | 12:08:57 Thank you, Mister Chairman. The Minsk Agreement is an agreement. It means there are different sides of this agreement. It's impossible to have one side to fulfil everything if all other sides are not fulfilling this. Moreover, for the last 6 years a special law about some regions of Lugansk and Donetsk territory are still in the parliament. Each year, the last 6 years, we provide this law to the life. But it's impossible to do this because other side is not fulfilling Minsk agreements. Lastly... 27/01/2022 | 12:52:42 Thank you, Mr President. Dear colleagues. I think it is the main topic that we need to discuss in this parliamentary session and I want to return you to the name of this discussion, which is "the role of the Council of Europe in security in Europe". I want to thank all speakers of parliamentary groups, I say all speakers because there were two main words – "peace" and "security" – in each speech. It is impossible to imagine how we can protect human rights in the conditions of war. So I think...
