"ЕС готов помочь, но решение зависит от воли сторон"

Комитет Европейского парламента по обороне и безопасности в среду (20 июня) провел специальное заседание для обсуждения ситуации в области безопасности вокруг Нагорного Карабаха, а также тот вклад, который Европейский Союз может сделать в урегулирование конфликта. В своем выступлении перед депутатами Европарламента специальный представитель ЕС на Южном Кавказе, посол Филипп Лефорт, подтвердил готовность Европейского Союза помочь сторонам продвинуться к урегулированию конфликта, но подчеркнул, что решение зависит от политической воли руководства Армении и Азербайджана.

Открывая заседание, г-н Арно Данжан, председатель комитета парламента по безопасности и обороне, заявил, что ситуация вокруг Нагорного Карабаха является предметом обеспокоенности Комитета и парламента. Комитет заслушал доклады Трейси Герман из Департамента оборонных исследований Королевского колледжа в Лондоне, который говорил об общей ситуации в области безопасности, Адам Эберхардт, заместитель директора Центра восточных исследований Польши, который проинформировал Комитет о ситуации в Армении и Азербайджане и Деннис Саммут, директор LINKS, который проинформировал комитет о роли ЕС в урегулировании конфликта. В своем письменном представлении комитету Деннис Саммут также представил десять предложений, которые  Европейский Союз может сделать для повышения своей роли в процессе урегулирования нагорно-карабахского конфликта.

На встрече также выступили специальный представитель ЕС на Южном Кавказе, Филипп Лефорт, который представил Комитету обзор текущей ситуации.

Многие депутаты Европарламента задали вопросы и высказали свои замечания после презентации.

Поскольку слушание было открытым на встрече присутствовала большая аудитория дипломатов, журналистов, официальных лиц ЕС, члены аналитических центров из Брюсселя и другие заинтересованные лица, что еще раз подтверждает интерес к этой теме.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
