23/01/2023 | 17:39:30 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear President, Dear Colleagues, While it is crucial to defeat DAESH on ground, it is also of great importance to bring those responsible from the crimes of DAESH to the justice. For this reason, I thank to the rapporteur for his detailed work on how we could hold those fighters to account in line with the international humanitarian law. We believe that the ideal resolution to the problem of foreign DAESH fighters is that foreign fighters... 14/10/2022 | 12:27:45 We now come to the free debate of our session. Under Rule 39 of the Assembly, this free debate is for topics not on the agenda of this part-session. Members may speak on any other subject of their choice. I remind members that on Monday we had the Current Affairs Debate on "Military Hostilities between Azerbaijan and Armenia, including Strikes against Settlements and Civilian Infrastructures". Yesterday, we held an urgent debate on the "Political Consequences of the Russian Federation's... 14/10/2022 | 11:00:23 Thank you. We heard also the opinion of the mover of the main amendment, but it seems the Committee is obviously in favour of the sub-amendment. Is that so Mr Alain MILON? Then I shall now put the second sub-amendment to the vote. The voting is open. Okay, the voting is closed. May I ask to display the results? Okay. With these numbers, the sub-amendment is agreed. Now, we come to the main amendment as amended by sub-amendment. Does anyone wish to speak against the amendment as amended? It... 14/10/2022 | 10:56:13 Thank you, Madam Selin SAYEK BÖKE. Does the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee wish to speak? If so, you have 3 minutes. No? Thank you. Then the debate is closed. The Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development has presented a draft resolution Document 15620, to which 3 amendments and a sub-amendment have been tabled, and a draft recommendation, to which we have no amendments. I remind you that speeches for amendments are limited to 30 seconds. We will start with the... 14/10/2022 | 10:02:29 Good morning. It is 10:00 a.m. The sitting is open. The Rapporteur and the Committee representatives are here. The first item of business this morning is the debate on the report titled "The future of work is here: revisiting labour rights", Document 15620, presented by Ms Selin SAYEK BÖKE, on behalf of the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development. In order to allow time for the other debates this morning, we must interrupt the list of speakers at about 10:45 a.m. to... 13/10/2022 | 11:54:40 Thank you, Mister President. Certainly, the war in Ukraine, the war of aggression in Ukraine, has come to a very critical stage, so we have to discuss it comprehensively. That is why I even wrote the Turkish proposal for the current affairs debate on food security to give the rapporteur to focus on the core issue, and he did it very well. When we look at the field, Ukraine continues its successful contra-offensive in regaining its territory rightfully. We should uphold it but, on the other... 12/10/2022 | 12:11:52 Thank you, Mister Chairman, I also join previous speakers in thanking most of all the rapporteurs. I, as chair of Turkish delegation, all of the members of our delegation, and all of the Turkish institutions tried their best to co‑operate with the rapporteurs and facilitate their jobs. So did Turkish civil society. Unfortunately, we had to put a dissenting opinion on the report and some amendments due to the following reasons. First, now in this debate the issue of elections also came to the... 10/10/2022 | 16:56:44 Thank you, Madam Chair. Dear Colleagues, I hope this discussion will contribute to assisting the normalisation process between the two countries here. Indeed, it is unbelievable that we are discussing these issues here when almost the whole continent is in danger of the threat of war and nuclear threats. We are in a post-conflict era after the liberation of Azerbaijani territories from three decades of occupation which consists of 20% of its territory and almost one million IDPs. What we... 23/06/2022 | 17:09:26 Thank you, Madam Chair. Dear colleagues, From the start of the Russian aggression against Ukraine, we have been discussing the consequences. These consequences are far beyond Ukraine, even Europe, and include food security which we are talking about here. Ongoing wars cast a tragic light on the need to promote food security both within Europe and around the world. In addition to the deteriorating situation in Ukraine, the war will have serious consequences on the global food supply chain as... 21/06/2022 | 12:35:40 Thank you Mr President. Unfortunately another Greek member misused her position as speaker of a political group to basically accuse Türkiye. If she is curious about the Turkish contribution and help to Ukraine, she can ask, she can get information from Ukraine negotiators and Ukrainian delegation here. Of course there are many Turkish-Greek disputes to be dealt with negotiations, but one thing is clear: the islands are in demilitarised sub-status by agreements. It is a Turkish right to...
