Андрей Арешев:

Дестабилизация обстановки вокруг Нагорного Карабаха не исходит из интересов европейцев. Об этом говорит то, что ЕС посредством "Восточного партнерства" преследует свои экономические интересы на Южном Кавказе, что достаточно неплохо, поскольку способствует сохранению относительного спокойствия вокруг урегулирования НКК. Подобное мнение выразил сегодня журналистам заместитель директора Фонда стратегической культуры России, научный сотрудник Института политических и социальных исследований Черноморско-Каспийского региона Андрей Арешев.

"При этом, программа "Восточное партнерство" никоим образом не рассматривается Москвой в качестве проект направленного против России. МИД России официально заявил, что Россия не имеет каких-либо возражений относительно данной программы ЕС.  Думаю, что государства постсоветского пространства имеют полное право выстраивать многовекторную внешнюю политику, как, впрочем, и сама Россия. Совсем другое дело, какие перспективы имеет этот проект. И будут ли в реальности воплощены в конкретные, экономические проекты все те обещания, которые даются в рамках партнерства", - отметил он.

Коснувшись перспектив Евразийского союза, Арешев охарактеризовал его как идею, нуждающуюся в дополнении и обретении конкретных форм. Учитывая же, что Евразийский союз задуман, в первую очередь, как экономическое объединение и основан на экономическом прагматизме, политолог выразил надежду, что его создание является не просто пиар-идеей, о которой забудут на следующий день после выборов.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
