Армения проводит крупномасштабные маневры вокруг Карабаха

Армения проводит масштабные военные учения в зоне нагорно-карабахского конфликта. Азербайджанские СМИ сообщают, что в центре внимания учений находится Агдамский район, и что в них задействована тяжелая артиллерия и бронетехника, и в прилегающих к нему районах можно услышать взрывы снарядов.

Азербайджан также сообщает о нарушениях прекращения огня в течение ночи в Казахском, Джебраильском и Ходжавендском районах.

Между тем, пока эти две страны остаются заперты в, казалось бы, бесконечном конфликте их министры иностранных дел продолжают настаивать на своих повестках. Выступая в Баку после встречи с министром иностранных дел Израиля, министр иностранных дел Азербайджана Эльмар Мамедъяров подчеркнул, что армянские вооруженные силы должны быть выведены с оккупированных территорий Азербайджана для обеспечения урегулирования конфликта. Мамедъяров также подтвердил, что конфликт должен быть решен в рамках территориальной целостности и суверенитета Азербайджана.

В Ереване министр иностранных дел Эдвард Налбандян во время обращения к парламенту Армении обвинил Азербайджан в армянофобии. "Мы хорошо понимаем, что проявление армянофобии, нетерпимости и разжигания ненависти стали обычным явлением в Азербайджане", сказал он. По сообщениям  армянского веб-портала news.am министр поставил под сомнение не только право Азербайджана принять на себя председательство в Совете Европы в этом месяце, но и его членство в организации.

Тем временем продолжаются усилия по разрешению конфликта между двумя странами. Ранее на этой неделе сопредседатели Минской группы ОБСЕ, дипломаты от России, Франции и США, встретились в Варшаве, чтобы обсудить стратегию развития этого процесса. Пока не ясно, какой будет эта стратегия, так как процесс кажется опять завис.

Borrell tells the European Parliament that the situation in Afghanistan was critical, but the EU will remain engaged

Borrell underlined that the European Union will make every effort to support the peace process and to remain a committed partner to the Afghan people. "Of course, we will have to take into account the evolving situation, but disengagement is not an option.  We are clear on that: there is no alternative to a negotiated political settlement, through inclusive peace talks.

A shortened EU-China summit on Thursday will be a test for both sides

European Council President, Antonio Costa, Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, and EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy, Kaya Kallas, will travel to Beijing next week to participate in the EU-China summit on Thursday (24 July). The summit has already been cut from two days to one, reflecting an increasing realisation on both sides that the chance of making progress on many issues in the bilateral agenda is small. The summit on 24 July, coincides with the 50th anniversary of relations between China and the EU, and no doubt China will want to throw a party. Chinese President, Xi Jinping, and prime minister, Li Qiange, are expected to participate in the summit. But the feeling in Brussels is that in the fifty years China had failed to create a level playing field. Whilst Chinese companies, academics and individuals had a free hand in the open European system across the continent, European companies struggled to exist , let alone compete, in China. In a key speech in 2023, van der Leyen spoke about the need of the EU to “de risk” its ties with China. But the issue that has really marred relations is Ukraine. China has failed to understand the significance of the situation in Ukraine for Europe. Chinese support for the Russian position diplomatically, as well as more tangibly, has cast a serious cloud over relations. This was seen clearly a few days ago in a four hour meeting in Brussels, between Kallas and Chinese foreign minister, Wang Yi, described as being “respectful, but tense”.
