“It was certainly a historic moment when the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe [PACE] elected its first Muslim president,” he said, referring to the election of Turkish deputy Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu last week in Strasbourg. “This has happened for the first time, the first in any European institution,” he added.
