Speeches since 2019

27/09/2021 | 15:40:16 Thank you, colleagues. I would like to begin my speech by thanking the PACE Secretariat for once again organizing the PACE session. Such a great representation. Today we're discussing very important issues of elections in the national parliaments and to ECHR. So, Armenia's early parliamentary elections were competitive and well managed within a short time frame. However they were characterised, as said in the report, by intense polarisation and marred by increasing inflammatory language from... 27/09/2021 | 12:06:08 Thank you, dear President. Hello colleagues. Many of you are finally here physically. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Secretary General for her personal participation in the Crimean platform at the end of August. We have seen the reaction from the Russian Federation, unfortunately, at the end of August, capturing more than 40 Crimean Tatars. Now they are awaiting prosecution. We do hope that there will also be a reaction of the High Commissioner for Human Rights; we have... 24/06/2021 | 09:55:53 Thank you, dear President. Dear honourable colleagues, Dear rapporteur, You have conducted a great job Mister PISCO. You have brought a very important issue which is uniting all of us across Europe. The issue of diasporas and diaspora engagement in different fields is obvious and it's often of interest in many ways. Governments employ a variety of methods to engage with their diasporas and use different institutional forms and different governmental levels. We're following the new trends of... 23/06/2021 | 17:55:26 Thank you, dear Madam President. Dear colleagues, I am extremely glad and grateful to everyone and especially the Rapporteur who has conducted a tremendous work throughout these three years of striving to finalise the report. The issue of the Crimean Tatars living on the Crimean Peninsula and with their rights being oppressed, firstly, is not a political issue. This is an issue of protecting the rights of people, a national minority, which is now living under conditions of racial... 23/06/2021 | 16:36:48 Thank you, dear President. First of all, I thank the rapporteur for working on this extremely important subject. I would like to express my views on Paragraph 4 which I am sure will comply with the views of the Assembly, namely as regards hate speech and online harassment attacking women in politics or public life. Women's interest in politics has grown significantly in our time, thanks in part to the efforts that have been done by the Member States to revise their own policies on non... 23/06/2021 | 12:43:25 Thank you, dear President. I will take this challenge of 60 seconds to report back to you on the developments that were positively outlined by Madam Secretary General in Ukraine. We can proudly say that Ukraine was one of the co-authors of the text of the Istanbul Convention 10 years ago. Now we are going through the same challenge that 34 countries have gone through while signing this document, and 12 of those who finally ratified it. Of course, we cannot forget about the four principles... 21/04/2021 | 17:54:17 Kiitos President. Thank you very much in your native language. Kiitos. Dear Mr President, Dear rapporteur, Ms Martine WONNER, Dear colleagues, I would like to be focused on one of the most important and personal topics for me, and maybe for my constituency, but also for the member countries. Nearly 40 years ago, Betty Ford, the former first lady of the United States of America, announced to the world that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and that she would undergo radical mastectomy... 20/04/2021 | 12:38:42 We salute this report. It's definitely on time and the Assembly vision was actually in need of strategic priorities for all of us, for the member countries and us colleagues as concrete representatives of constituencies and peoples of 47 member states. Our delegation would like to stress the best principles, of course, that the Council of Europe must condemn the combat to threat of territorial integrity and security of the member states and that was enshrined in many resolutions that you have... 20/04/2021 | 09:29:48 Merci Président, Chers collègues, I would like to start my speech with words of gratitude to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Marija Pejčinović Burić, who issued guidelines recently to governments to safeguard human rights using such certification or immunisation. This particular document highlights the relevant human rights standards for addressing the issues of vaccine passports and underlines the importance of stepping up efforts for all of us to produce and administer... 28/01/2021 | 13:26:56 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Mr. President, dear colleagues, While we are talking about "dialogue" and are afraid to offend one of the members of the Council of Europe, this country, in the occupied territories where it controls armed groups, supports the existence of an unforgiving phenomenon in the 21st century. It is about the secret prison “Isolation” in Donetsk The “Isolation” is a secret prison on the territory of a military base located at the following address: 3...
