By Trend
Turkey is one of the key members of the Council of Europe in tackling the challenges the group faces, Turkish Parliament Speaker Ismail Kahraman said on September 16, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
His remarks came in an address at the European Conference of
Presidents of Parliaments in Strasbourg.
Kahraman highlighted the Council of Europe’s growing importance in
challenges discussed during the meeting without making concessions
to democracy, human rights or the rule of law.
“Turkey, as one of the founding countries of the Council of Europe,
has been among the largest contributors to its budget to boost its
operational capacity to overcome challenges,” he said.
About Turkey’s contributions, he added, “We continue to help
protect and improve our common values, as we have done so far.”
The parliament speaker also said Turkey will host the group’s
next conference in 2018.
The European Conference of Presidents of Parliaments is hosted by
one of the member countries every two years and lasts for two
days.
