Speeches since 2019

27/04/2022 | 18:25:41 Dear Colleagues, No matter how the illegal assets are acquired, if it is identified then those who own them should be questioned and the assets should be confiscated. Then the question arises of how to put confiscated criminal assets to good use. This is the important question. I strongly believe that the confiscated assets should be reused and redistributed to those who have suffered because of the accumulation of these assets by criminal ways. At the end of my speech, dear colleagues, I... 27/04/2022 | 18:24:51 Thank you, Madam President. Dear Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen, Organised crime is one of the greatest threats to the security of any country and region in the world. Europe is no exception. According to Europol, more than 5 000 organised crime groups are currently under investigation in Europe. In order to understand the magnitude of the problem, we need to understand that organised crime is motivated by profit and that its illegal activities generate a large amount of profit for the... 25/01/2022 | 19:39:13 Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2 I would like to thank the rapporteur for the report. The report highlights very important issues regarding the media in times of crisis. I want to underline few issues, as well. The rapporteur has identified 5 crisis types and in 2020 alone, 3 of those crisis types, namely COVID-19 related health crisis, environmental crisis and armed conflict have happened in Azerbaijan. During those times of crisis, Azerbaijani people have experienced and... 24/01/2022 | 19:08:01 Thank you. Dear Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen, We support the European Pact on Migration and Asylum and believe that it is essential to ensure the safety of the inhabitants and immigrants of our continent. Unfortunately, we have experienced forced migration unintentionally. I and my family members were forced to leave our home in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan and move to another region in the face of aggression from the neighboring country. As a result of this ethnic cleansing and... 27/09/2021 | 18:02:10 Yes, Madam President, We propose to add the words "particularly in places not located in the conflict zone" to paragraph 8.4 after the word "civilians" because you know that during the 44 days of war last year, while Azerbaijan was strictly following humanitarian international law and also the requirements of the law of armed conflict, unfortunately, Armenia did vice versa. Armenia attacked civilians, the biggest cities of Azerbaijan, far from the conflict zone. For example, the second... 24/06/2021 | 16:22:08 Mister President, Dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to thank the rapporteur for his work and for drawing our attention to this problematic issue. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. This idea, which is enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, was at the heart of the reconstruction of Europe after the Second World War and serves as the basis of the international human rights system. Racism and discrimination against people of African descent... 21/06/2021 | 16:36:23 Thank you, dear colleagues. The trilateral statement of the leaders of Azerbaijan, the Russian Federation, and Armenia signed on the 10th of November last year, created a ground for putting an end to the almost three-decade-long armed conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, on the basis of mutual recognition of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and inviolability of the borders. Of course, it is disappointing to hear some of my colleagues from neighbouring countries in the hemicycle putting... 21/04/2021 | 18:08:33 Dear Mr President, Thank you. I would like to thank the rapporteurs for their job and drawing our attention to this very important topic which is discrimination against persons dealing with long-term illness. Dear colleagues, no country or region in the world has been immune to the spread and destruction of the pandemic. Also Azerbaijan's internally displaced persons are particularly vulnerable to the current virus like myself and this city and constituency in the Karabakh region of... 28/01/2021 | 12:26:14 Dear Mr Chairman, Dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to thank the rapporteur for his excellent document preparing this report, which is very important here on the European continent because indeed this is a very serious issue and indeed it's a matter of great concern for all of us. Because singling out and checking, scrutinising people on the only basis of their ethnicity, of their nationality, on the basis of their religious grounds, are totally unacceptable. It's against not only...
