Он бывал на Луне. Но теперь не сможет посетить Баку. Азербайджан внёс в черный список астронавта Аполлона-16.

19 September 2012

Американскому астронавту Чарлзу Дюку, который участвовал в лунной миссии НАСА и бывал на Луне, было запрещено посещать Азербайджан.

Пресс-секретарь МИД Азербайджана Эльман Абдуллаев заявил агентству АПА, что после посещения космонавтом Нагорного Карабаха он и его коллега, астронавт из Швейцарии Клод Николян, были внесены в черный список.

"Любой визит на оккупированные территории Азербайджана является незаконным. И люди, совершившие подобный визит, будут включены в список нежелательных лиц", сказал пресс-секретарь МИД Азербайджана.

Чарльз Дюк и Клод Николян приняли участие в конференции на тему "Человек и космос", состоявшейся в Нагорно-Карабахском регионе 16 сентября.

Дюк был членом Аполлон-16, 5-й лунной миссии НАСА.

Политический редактор Commonspace.eu сообщает в комментарии:

"Этот вопрос, вероятно, станет более спорным в будущем. Все больше и больше известных людей будут воодушевленны посетить Нагорный Карабах, особенно армянской диаспорой, и мы будем наблюдать, как  азербайджанский черный список становится все длиннее и длиннее, так как обе стороны будут использовать этот вопрос в целях пропаганды.

Однако, существуют более серьезные элементы такой политики, а именно целесообразность изолирования армянской общины Нагорного-Карабаха. Эта изоляция помогла создать осадный менталитет среди этого сообщества, который в настоящее время является реальным и серьезным препятствием для любого будущего мирного соглашения. Тот факт, что человек, который бывал на Луне, теперь не сможет побывать в Баку может быть забавным, но также следует понимать и последствия такой политики на мирный процесс."

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

6 July 2025
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.
