Speeches since 2019

23/06/2023 | 12:48:26 Thank you, Madam President. What a great file to finalise our summer part-session, colleagues. This is so brilliant that we have young people, business people, people who are actually electing us to be voting for this important files, and to discuss this issue today. On behalf of the Committee, I would like to say that this file has been very properly prepared and supported by the Secretariat, supported by the Committee already in April. A funny thing just happened. My internet ran out, and I... 21/06/2023 | 18:34:36 Good afternoon, dear colleagues. Thank you, dear Chairwoman. Firstly, I would like to thank the rapporteurs for the follow-up on the migration refugee crisis that is taking us up to the next level. Colleagues, There is a new notion which has arrived recently in international law after the most massive movement of human beings since the Second World War. This new notion is "temporary relocated persons" who are of Ukrainian citizenship. The war of aggression brought them to your home states, to... 28/04/2023 | 11:22:06 Thank you, dear President. I would like to congratulate the committee and the rapporteur who is replaced today by Ms Yevheniia KRAVCHUK. All the Secretariat has been working on the numerous issues which are linked to democracy, and at the same time the absence of democracy. Sometimes the controlling functions which are linked to the media are banning freedom of speech. At the same time, in the world in which we live, we cannot distinguish what democracy is or what is happening to the roots... 27/04/2023 | 16:28:14 Thank you, dear President. Hello colleagues, we are setting up yet another historical example for the international organisations, because everything we're passing here in terms of resolutions are going further to the UN institutions, to NATO, OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, and today is yet another historical document which is at your tables. We are confirming that what has happened and what has being happening as of now in Ukraine, in the temporary occupied territories of Ukraine, in the... 26/01/2023 | 17:38:28 Thank you, dear Madam SCHOU. Dear president, colleagues, this report is extremely important even though there are not many colleagues remaining in the hall and we understand that monitoring some of the Members States during the international armed conflict is also challenging, even though the rapporteurs, the delegates from Sweden, Switzerland and Iceland, did make contacts with the Ukrainian delegation – I can reconfirm that, even though I would like to point out that the latest contacts... 26/01/2023 | 11:36:18 Dear President, Thank you very much. I would like to start my speech with a very important citation. "A true soldier does not fight for something in front of him or her which he or she fears; he or she fights for something behind him or her which he or she loves". And colleagues, As a representative of the Ukrainian delegation, I would love to tell you that it's not the infrastructure we're fighting for daily; it's not for the buildings; it's not for the roads: it's our heritage, our genetic... 25/01/2023 | 20:00:46 Yes, I think I must, dear President! Colleagues, I'd like to cheer you up with small stories as some inspiration from Ukraine. First of all, I want to congratulate all three amazing rapporteurs on their tremendous work and of course the Secretariat. This brings a new era of gender equality and women's rights - our golden rights - which are human rights of course. Who would ever think that a man would be the first, the leaders of this movement - like one person who is celebrating his birthday... 24/01/2023 | 18:52:56 Dear Chair, thank you Madam Elvira KOVÁCS. I would like to extend my largest words of gratitude to our dear colleague Ms Fiona O'LOUGHLIN. I remember our meeting back in Ireland and look how unimaginable this all went from one small meeting which then enlarged to our vote in the plenary asking the Committee of the Ministers, the government, and states to go ahead with the 4th historical Summit in our joint 70+ European history of co-existence. This co-existence was debatable, challenged by... 24/01/2023 | 11:36:48  Teşekkürler, Chair. Thank you very much. Dear colleagues, It's a big and huge privilege and a very important role which I have taken just yesterday as a Chairwoman of the Committee. But you know, back in March, when we were getting rid of those who started, restarted, the aggression against all of us, who have brought us to the terrible figures of the war crimes within which a high number is rape, within which rape is used as not only a weapon but also a damage to the long lasting causes and... 13/10/2022 | 11:28:49 Thank you very much, dear President. Colleagues, I've been in different European institution for more than 13 years, and today in the morning I have realised that there is a very clear metaphor describing us today. We're like a phoenix which rises from the ashes. We are becoming more and more powerful with every resolution. United Nations, other international organisations are looking at our decisions. Since the 15th of March, when we showed the red card for the Russian Federation for the...
