Avropa Şurasının baş katibi Thorbjørn Jagland
Strasbourg / 10/01/17 / Turan: Council of Europe Secretary General Thornbjørn Jagland published an appeal on his Facebook page saying:
"In the last few days, a massive and organized campaign against the Council of Europe started with personal attacks on the Secretary General, as well as several human rights organizations.
Never in the history of Europe have I seen such an attack from outside on the elected Secretary General.
The reason for this was the initiative to start a process against Azerbaijan, because the country continues to keep in prison a well-known prisoner Ilgar Mammadov, despite the fact that the European Court of Human Rights decided three years ago that he should be released.
The blogger Fatullayev makes the most powerful attacks. He was in prison, but was released after numerous efforts.
He himself said, the Secretary General saved his life. But at the same time he became a defender of the government.
Unfortunately, I've seen many such cases, activists who are threatened and subjected to violence by prisoners organized by prison authorities. In the end, some of them can no longer resist, beg for mercy and are released after saying they are ready to appear in front of TV cameras in Baku.
I have already said that we can no longer tolerate with this. With one of the committee members I started my own investigation two years ago, to which I have the right under Article 52.
Finally, the Member States, their oil, gas, finance, as well as strategic interests, will subordinate them to the interests of the political prisoner.
The basis of Europe is on the demand for the freedom of individuals, and the system of collective justice created after the war will protect this sacred principle." -0-

In Ukraine, a brutal, bloody war caused by Russian aggression continues, claiming lives, destroying homes, demolishing infrastructure, and inflicting incalculable harm on the environment and surrounding natural ecosystems. Ukraine, more than anyone else in this world, strives for peace, as we bear the daily brutality of this Russian-Ukrainian war. We are at the forefront of the struggle for the right to life, freedom, and justice. Ukraine seeks a just peace that will lay a solid foundation for a stable future for Europe and the World, and the only way of achieving this is to implement President Volodymyr Zelensky's Peace Formula (the Ukrainian Peace Formula).

On the eve of a large-scale flood approaching Baku, a disturbing incident occurred in the village of Buzovna, where a Lada Priora car fell into the ground, literally collapsing the road beneath it. The driver miraculously remained unharmed but vowed to seek justice, promising to file an official complaint with the prosecutor’s office against Azersu OJSC, the state-owned water supply and sewerage company, often associated with deeply rooted corruption.

In a bit of historic irony, powerful oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili has managed to inspire rare unity across Georgia’s cacophonous political scene twice in his life. His money and influence forged the broad-based consolidation of opposition forces that brought him to power in 2012, and now, 12 years and three electoral cycles later, a similar pattern of opposition convergence could send him packing.

Russian authorities and pro-Kremlin influencers have been spreading false information about alleged Reporters Without Borders (RSF) research into Nazi tendencies within the Ukrainian military, which was featured in a viral video falsely attributed to the BBC. RSF exposes the inner workings of a disinformation campaign designed to justify President Vladimir Putin's war narrative.
