Армения похоронила погибших пилотов. Что дальше?

Армения похоронила трех пилотов, погибших, когда один из военных вертолетов был сбит азербайджанскими силами вблизи линии соприкосновения, разделяющей две стороны в зоне нагорно-карабахского конфликта.

Погибшими оказались майор Сергей Саакян, а также старший лейтенант Саркис Назарян и лейтенант Азат Саакян.

Инцидент с вертолетом рассматривается как серьезная эскалация военного противостояния между армянами и азербайджанцами, которая продолжается в течение многих лет. Существует опасение, что инцидент приведет к началу нового витка насилия в регионе.

Сопредседатель Минского процесса ОБСЕ от США, посол Джеймс Уорлик, в комментарии азербайджанскому агентству АПА заявил: "Инцидент 12 ноября стал трагедией, и такие инциденты следует избегать в будущем. Мы призываем стороны проявить сдержанность и переориентировать свои усилия на мирные переговоры и прочное урегулирование нагорно-карабахского конфликта. Кроме того насилие и месть подорвут мирные переговоры и будут препятствовать решению гуманитарных проблем, которые возникли в результате конфликта ".

За кулисами предпринимаются интенсивные усилия, чтобы удержать стороны в мирном процессе. Министры иностранных дел Армении и Азербайджана должны на следующей неделе встретиться в Швейцарии в кулуарах встречи министров иностранных дел ОБСЕ.

UN General Assembly vote highlights Israel's isolation

Applause rang out in the UN General Assembly Hall on Friday as countries endorsed a declaration on the peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine and implementation of the two-State solution with Israel.  The New York Declaration is the outcome of an international conference held in July at UN Headquarters, organized by France and Saudi Arabia, which resumes later this month. The General Assembly comprises all 193 UN Member States and 142 countries voted in favour of a resolution backing the document. Israel voted against it, alongside nine other countries – Argentina, Hungary, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Tonga and the United States – while 12 nations abstained. The vote highlights the current Israeli international isolation as a result of its current policies. Prior to the vote, French Ambassador Jérôme Bonnafont recalled that the New York Declaration “lays out a single roadmap to deliver the two-State solution”. This involves an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, release of all hostages held there, and the establishment of a Palestinian State that is both viable and sovereign. The roadmap further calls for the disarmament of Hamas and its exclusion from governance in Gaza, normalization between Israel and the Arab countries, as well as collective security guarantees.
