Ашот Манучарян:

С принятием Сенатом Национального Собрания Франции решения о криминализации отрицания Геноцида армян, несомненно, возросла степень защищенности Армении, как страны подвергшейся Геноциду. Подобное мнение выразил АрмИнфо член комитета "Карабах", аналитик Ашот Манучарян, комментируя принятое накануне сенатом Франции решение.

"Не секрет, что Армения и сегодня продолжает подвергаться агрессии со стороны Турции, и ее сателлита - Азербайджана, что выражается в блокаде республики с их стороны, агрессивных заявлениях руководства Азербайджана, подогреваемых турецким влиянием.  Именно влияние Анкары на решения, принимаемые в Баку, являются одним из главных мотивов решения Парижа, поскольку подобная линия поведения этих двух стран прямо пропорционально угрожает региональной стабильности, а значит интересам всего западного мира", - заметил Манучарян. Данная ситуация, по его мнению, исходит из интересов армянского народа.

В качестве негативного последствия решения Сената для Армении политик назвал розыгрыш "армянской карты" в турецких националистических кругах против Армении и армянского народа. По его словам, новый закон, принятый во Франции, станет дополнительным катализатором, подогревающим шовинистические, антиармянские настроения в турецком обществе, которые и так являются частью мышления турок.

23 января Сенат Национального Собрания Франции вынес решение о криминализации отрицания Геноцида армян. Согласно новому закону, отрицание Геноцида армян будет преследоваться в уголовном порядке. Закон, за принятие которого в Сенате проголосовало "за" 107, а "против" - 86  сенаторов, предусматривает наказание в виде года тюремного заключения и штрафа в размере 45 тысяч евро за отрицание Геноцидов, в том числе Геноцида армян. Автором законопроекта является депутат от правящей партии "Союз за народное движение" Валерии Буайе.

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.
