Алиев в доме №10. Азербайджанский и британский лидеры обсудили двусторонние и региональные вопросы. Обе стороны видят много пользы в текущих отношениях.

Президент Азербайджана Ильхам Алиев вчера побывал на Даунинг Стрит 10 на встрече с премьер-министром Великобритании Дэвидом Кэмероном. В центре внимания были вопросы двусторонних отношений, а также региональные и международные вопросы.

Сайт президента Азербайджана сообщает, что лидеры двух стран высоко оценили нынешнее состояние отношений между двумя странами. Также сообщается, что "между Соединенным Королевством и Азербайджаном существует успешное сотрудничество в ряде областей, в том числе энергетическом и нефтяном секторах, и перспективы этих связей велики."

Политический редактор Commonspace.eu в своем комментарии сообщает, что "История отношении между Великобританией и Азербайджаном уходит далеко в прошлое, и обе стороны видят много пользы в них, в том числе за счёт больших британских инвестиций в азербайджанскую углеводородную отрасль. Политические отношения между странами также являются хорошими, но могли бы быть лучше. За последний год было несколько штаммов в отношениях после интенсивной критики в британских СМИ прав человека в Азербайджане. Однако, оба правительства старались не превращать это в большой вопрос. Нет сомнений, что Великобритания хочет видеть больше приверженности со стороны азербайджанского правительства в отношении реформ. Британское правительство все еще надеется, что президент Алиев лично возглавит этот процесс, несмотря на некоторое сопротивление в его правительстве. Со своей стороны, Азербайджан не устраивает британская поддержка своей позиции по карабахскому конфликту и хочет видеть больше британского участия в процессе урегулирования конфликта. Оба вопроса были затронуты на вчерашней встрече на Даунинг Стрит."

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).
