20/11/2020 | 10:14:58 Good morning from Ankara and good morning, Herr HOTH. We know each other well, so I'm just going to go to the questions of my remarks straight on to save time. Sharing intelligence, the deplorable terrorist attacks that happened in Austria, and unfortunately, some of which happened before in France: now we have information that the perpetrators of these terrorist attacks, these murderers, were sent back from Turkey, from the border, to European countries with the information that they... 30/01/2020 | 19:05:51 Thank you, President. Dear colleagues, I would like to thank the rapporteur for his report which takes stock of the monitoring expertise of PACE in 2019. These activities, and sure that PACE is a beacon for democracy and human rights in Europe and beyond. But, as my colleague from Serbia mentioned before, I have to also bring to light and remind ourselves of the meeting that we had in the Monitoring Committee in Paris, and I was also part of that meeting, where it was decided that France... 30/01/2020 | 12:25:13 Thank you. Thank you very much Mr Chair for your understanding. Ladies and gentlemen we are again debating a very hot topic. As my colleague from Azerbaijan, Mr Samad SEYIDOV, he's put forward his own case very well I think. When I hear about what has been happening in the PACE and past things that have been talked about, where we had reports on that, we have had also the results of the voting and that is it. I mean we don't have to bring out now cases from the past. If we go there, there are... 30/01/2020 | 10:59:19 Thank you, Mr Chair. We are debating a very, very important issue and I thank Mr Stefan SCHENNACH for his work that he has put in under the urgent debate procedure. When I hear some words that are being spoken in this Chamber of human rights and rule of law, it is very interesting to hear that in the year 2020 such words are being uttered. Because the dignity of a human being that has no, and nothing to do with any crime, being able to freely build a life for him or herself, is not debatable... 29/01/2020 | 20:27:28 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) "Debate: Complementary joint procedure between the Committee of Ministers and the Parliamentary Assembly in response to a serious violation by a member State of its statutory obligations" Dear President, Dear Colleagues, The complementary procedure is of utmost importance for the legitimacy and credibility of the Council of Europe. Therefore, it should be designed to ensure that no one can cast a single doubt over the impartiality of the... 28/01/2020 | 19:21:33 Thank you. President and dear Colleagues, The presence of an independent, free and plural media community is a prerequisite for a functioning democratic society. As parliamentarians, it is our duty to go beyond paying lip service and to take efficient steps for further protection of freedom of expression. To this end, there have been recent changes in the Turkish parliament regarding some laws on these issues. But when we are debating here today, we see that everybody is speaking about the... 28/01/2020 | 16:48:44 I shall now put the amendment to the vote. The vote is open. The vote is closed. I call for the results to be displayed. Amendment number 39 is agreed to, amendments 38 and 41 therefore fall. We will now proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in document 15025 as amended. The vote is open. The vote is closed. I call for the results to be displayed. The draft resolution in document 15025, as amended, is adopted. I remind members that the ballots to elect a judge to the European... 28/01/2020 | 15:50:29 Thank you. The debate is closed. The monitoring committee has presented a draft resolution to which 46 amendments have been tabled. I remind you that speeches on amendments are limited to 30 seconds and as we have a long list, please, stay within the 30 seconds, dear colleagues. I understand that the chairperson of the monitoring committee wishes to propose to the Assembly that amendments 42 and 46 to the draft resolution, which were unanimously approved by the committee, should be declared... 28/01/2020 | 15:35:41 Dear colleagues, the sitting is now open. There has been a proposed change in the membership of the committees. They are set out in document Commissions (2020) 01, Addendum 3. Are the proposed changes in the membership of the Assembly's committees agreed to? They are agreed to. The ballots to elect the judge to the European Court of Human Rights in respect of France and the second round to elect a Vice President for the Russian Federation are open again. Those who have not yet voted may still... 02/10/2019 | 19:09:37 Thank you, Mr President. Of course, I would like to congratulate our rapporteur on the good work that has been put forward and the effort which is the most important part of this because, Ms KARAMANLI, you put point forward which we can see is touching everybody who is also part of the Council, and also in humanity. Like my colleague from Azerbaijan said, terrorism is a cancer, which we have to fight on all fronts and in all shapes and sizes, and we can, say, distinguish between these acts...
