Россия, Грузия и Армения лидируют среди стран СНГ по количеству ищущих убежище в странах Европы. Как сообщает АПА, об этом говорится в докладе Управления верховного комиссара ООН по делам беженцев (УВКБ).

"Из стран СНГ по количеству поданных с целью получения убежища заявлений лидируют Россия (20 522 заявок, 4-е место), Грузия (10 611 заявок, 10-е место), Армения (4 450 заявок, 22-е место)", - отмечается в докладе.

Азербайджан занимает 34-е место по количеству лиц, ищущих убежище в европейских странах.

На первом месте в списках просителей международной защиты за границей граждане Афганистана. На них приходятся 36 600 заявлений. Второе место по числу петиций о предоставлении статуса беженца в промышленно развитых странах занимают граждане Сирии.

В целом, за получением убежища в 38 странах Европы в 2012 году обратились 355 500 человек. Наиболее привлекательными европейскими странами для искателей статуса беженца в прошлом году стали Германия, Франция, Швеция. Но больше всех прошений об убежище в 2012 году пришлись на США - 83 400 заявлений.

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.
