Армянская дипломатия подводит итоги

Министр иностранных дел Армении Эдвард Налбандян в четверг (4 июня) принял в своем офисе в Ереване министра иностранных дел самопровозглашенной Нагорно-Карабахской Республики Карена Мирзояна.

В кратком заявлении, опубликованном на сайте МИД Армении, говорится, что в ходе встречи Налбандян и Мирзоян обсудили события вокруг процесса мирного урегулирования нагорно-карабахского конфликта и "коснулись положений по карабахскому урегулированию, содержащихся в Декларация Рижского саммита ЕС и Восточного Партнерства".

По данным того же источника "Эдвард Налбандян и Карен Мирзоян обменялись мнениями относительно регионального визита действующего председателя ОБСЕ, его встреч с руководством Армении и Арцаха."

По словам политического редактора commonspace.eu, хотя такие встречи и не являются необычными, но они стали более частыми и структурированными в последнее время, в момент когда армянская дипломатия работает над укреплением своих позиции на международной арене по нагорно-карабахскому вопросу. Самопровозглашенная Нагорно-Карабахская Республика (НКР) не признана ни одним государством, но при этом может рассчитывать на сильную поддержку со стороны армянских диаспор во всем мире. Несмотря на претензий НКР быть в полной мере представленным на переговорах по конфликту в рамках Минского процесса ОБСЕ, которые некоторые отвергают, а другими считается преждевременными, тот факт, что он де-факто контролирует территорию Нагорного Карабаха сильно укрепляет позиции НКР на переговорах.

Азербайджан очень чувствителен к любым контактам между международным сообществом и де-факто властями НКР, и в общем и целом успешно сдерживал официальную международную деятельность с этим образованием. Однако, он не в силах предотвратить частные визиты людей из мира политики, спорта и культуры в Карабах и их взаимодействия с властями Нагорно-Карабахской Республики. Позиция ОБСЕ отличается, так как ему поручено содействие разрешению конфликта, то, как ожидается, оно должно сотрудничать со всеми заинтересованными сторонами. Встреча, состоявшаяся в среду в Ереване, между председателем ОБСЕ и руководством НКР вписывается в этот контекст.

Однако, как многие считают, с армянским населением в Нагорном Карабахе должно быть больше взаимодействия со стороны международного сотрудничества, так как изоляция не способствует разрешению конфликта, и позволяет закрепиться жесткому осадному менталитету. Хотя многие обвиняют азербайджанскую сторону за жесткую позицию по этому вопросу, когда он объявляет персоной нон грата любого человека посетившего Карабах без ведома властей Азербайджана, некоторые из них также говорят, что часто де-факто власти НКР прибегают к ненужным процессуальным требованиям.

Карабахский конфликт никогда не будет решен без поддержки заинтересованных сторон, которые непосредственно вовлечены в него - народ Нагорного Карабаха, будь то армяне или азербайджанцы. А это требует проявления гибкости от всех сторон к максимально свободному и открытому диалогу.

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).

NATO Chief says war is on Europe's doorstep, and warns against complacency

NATO Chief says war is on Europe's doorstep, and warns against complacency

Russia could attack a NATO country within the next five years, the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, said in a stark new warning. "NATO's own defences can hold for now," Rutte warned in Berlin, but conflict was "next door" to Europe, and he feared "too many are quietly complacent, and too many don't feel the urgency, too many believe that time is on our side. "Russia is already escalating its covert campaign against our societies," Rutte said in a speech in Germany. "We must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents or great-grandparents endured." Earlier this month, Russia's President Vladimir Putin said his country was not planning to go to war with Europe, but it was ready "right now" if Europe wanted to - or started a war. But similar reassurances were given by Moscow in 2022, just before 200,000 Russian troops crossed the border and invaded Ukraine. Putin has accused European countries of hindering US efforts to bring peace in Ukraine - a reference to the role Ukraine's European allies have recently played in trying to change a US peace plan to end the war, whose initial draft was seen as favouring Russia. But Putin was not sincere, Nato's secretary-general said in the German capital, Berlin. Supporting Ukraine, he added, was a guarantee for European security. "Just imagine if Putin got his way; Ukraine under the boot of Russian occupation, his forces pressing against a longer border with Nato, and the significantly increased risk of an armed attack against us." Russia's economy has been on a war footing for more than three years now - its factories churn out ever more supplies of drones, missiles and artillery shells. According to a recent report by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Russia has been producing each month around 150 tanks, 550 infantry fighting vehicles, 120 Lancet drones and more than 50 artillery pieces. The UK, and most of its Western allies, are simply not anywhere near this point. Analysts say it would take years for Western Europe's factories to come close to matching Russia's mass-production of weapons. "Allied defence spending and production must rise rapidly, our armed forces must have what they need to keep us safe," the Nato chief said.
