Армения выделяет НКР $20млн. кредит.

Армения в ближайшее время предоставит властям самопровозглашенной Нагорно-Карабахской Республики кредит в размере $20млн. (Девять миллиардов шестьсот миллионов драмов) для покрытия бюджетных потребностей. Кредит предоставляется под ставку 8,6% и подлежит погашению в сентябре 2020 года. Решение о продлении кредита было принято Кабинетом Министров Армении на встрече под председательством премьер-министра РА Овика Абрамяна в минувший вторник (18 августа).

Пока не ясно, что стало причиной необходимости в получении кредита. Выступая в Лондоне в прошлом месяце высокопоставленный чиновник из самопровозглашенной Нагорно-Карабахской Республики заявил, что бюджет субъекта финансируется как за счет собственных источников так и за счет межгосударственных кредитов из Армении. Однако НКР также получает часть таможенных поступлений Армении, так как между Арменией и самим Карабахом нет пункта таможенного контроля, и всеми таможенными сборами занимается Армения. Чиновник также заявил, что экономика НКР демонстрирует динамичный рост и, что ВВП в прошлом году вырос на 8%. Однако в этот раз чиновник также заявил, что НКР получает поддержку от армянской диаспоры, которые, по его словам, считают Карабах "священной землей".

2 января 2015 года Армения присоединилась к Евразийскому экономическому союзу и стала частью таможенного союза вместе с Россией, Казахстаном и Беларусью. Однако пока не ясно, является ли Нагорный Карабах частью этого процесса, хотя правительство Армении отклоняет прямые утверждения об том, что между Арменией и территорией подконтрольной самопровозглашенной Нагорно-Карабахской Республике будут выставлены таможенные пункты.

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

"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”.
