Азербайджанские борцы завоевали две золотые медали в последние дни Олимпийских Игр в Лондоне, чем порадовали свой народ и подняли сборную Азербайджана на 30-е место в общей таблице медалей.

Тогрул Аскеров, выступающий в категорий 60 кг в вольной борьбе, завоевал первое золото Азербайджана победив в финале российского борца Бесика Кудухова. Другой борец Шариф Шарифов позднее в субботу завоевал вторую золотую медаль для Азербайджана. Успех Азербайджана в борьбе привел в восторг его народ.

Лондонская Олимпиада 2012 года подошла к последнему дню сегодня, к церемонии закрытия, которую рекламируют в настоящее время, как "большую вечеринку".

Команды из Армении, Азербайджана и Грузии приняли участие в играх с некоторым успехом. Помимо двух золотых медалей Азербайджан также завоевал две серебряные и пять бронзовых медалей. Грузия имеет одну золотую, три серебряные и две бронзовые, и Армения завоевала одну серебряную и две бронзовые медали.

European leaders outline position on current situation in the Middle East

The leaders of the 27 member states of the European Union met in Brussels on Thursday, 19 March 2026, to discuss the current global situation, and, in particular, the crisis in the Gulf, and the wider Middle East. EU leaders adopted conclusions on Ukraine, the Middle East, competitiveness and the single market, European defence and security, migration, multilateralism, strengthening Europe's democratic resilience, protecting children online, the EU's eastern regions and Dniester river. The leaders also met UN Secretary-General António Guterres to discuss the geopolitical situation and multilateralism. In their decision the EU leaders said, "Developments in Iran and the wider region threaten regional and global security. The European Council calls for de-escalation and maximum restraint, the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure and full respect of international law by all parties, including the principles of the United Nations Charter and international humanitarian law. In this regard, it calls for a moratorium on strikes against energy and water facilities." The statement adds, "The European Union will continue to protect its security and interests, working with regional and global partners to counter the impact of the ongoing hostilities. The European Union and its Member States are taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety of EU citizens in the region, including by providing conditions for their safe departure."

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Today, commonspace.eu starts a new regular weekly series. THURSDAY INTERVIEW, conducted by Lauri Nikulainen, will host  persons who are thinkers, opinion shapers, and implementors in their countries and spheres. We start the series with an interview with Murad Muradov, a leading person in Azerbaijan's think tank community. He is also the first co-chair of the Action Committee for a new Armenian-Azerbaijani Dialogue. Last September he made history by being the first Azerbaijani civil society activist to visit Armenia after the 44 day war, and the start of the peace process. Speaking about this visit Murad Muradov said: "My experience was largely positive. My negative expectations luckily didn’t play out. The discussions were respectful, the panel format bringing together experts from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey was particularly valuable during the NATO Rose-Roth Seminar in Yerevan, and media coverage, while varied in tone, remained largely constructive. Some media outlets though attempted to represent me as more of a government mouthpiece than an independent expert, which was totally misleading.  Overall, I see these initiatives as important steps in rebuilding trust and normalising professional engagement. The fact that soon a larger Azerbaijani civil society visits to Armenia followed, reinforces the sense that this process is moving in the right direction."
