The senator noted that he considers such a proposal correct.
“I want the new council to unite sovereign states, without all the bad things that are in the Council of Europe,” the RT interlocutor added.
Because, as the parliamentarian explained, some countries that are members of the EU and are represented in the Council of Europe as sovereign states, in fact, are not.
Tsekov also expressed his confidence that the new formation would be much more fair and beneficial to the international community.
Earlier, Volodin announced the need to create a new international organization instead of the Council of Europe.
On February 16, the State Duma adopted a law on the termination of the Council of Europe treaties with respect to Russia.
According to the document, in connection with the country's withdrawal from the council, it is proposed to consider 21 international treaties terminated.
