ЕС выступил с заявлением по ситуации на линии соприкосновения

Пресс-секретарь Кэтрин Эштон, Верховного представителя Европейского Союза по иностранным делам и политике безопасности и вице-президента Комиссии, сделал следующее заявление:

"Верховный представитель очень обеспокоена сообщениями о серьезных вооруженных инцидентах, произошедших 4, 5 и 6 июня на границе между Арменией и Азербайджаном и на линии соприкосновения в зоне нагорно-карабахского конфликта, и глубоко сожалеет о гибели людей.

Верховный представитель призывает обе стороны строго соблюдать соглашение о прекращении огня и проявлять сдержанность на местах, а также в публичных заявлениях, чтобы не допустить дальнейшей эскалации ситуации, которая ухудшается в течение последних нескольких месяцев.

Угроза силы или угроза ее применения, а также статус-кво не способствуют разрешению сохраняющихся конфликтов.

Эти инциденты подчеркивают важность функционирующего механизма расследования инцидента, который был предложен ОБСЕ. Кроме того, они подчеркивают необходимость достижения прогресса в переговорном процессе, отмечено в заявлении. Верховный представитель призывает Армению и Азербайджан, как стран-партнеров, активизировать свои усилия по достижению соглашения по Мадридским принципам, которые являются основой для мира, и в полной мере выполнить обязательства, взятые президентами этих стран в рамках Минской группы ОБСЕ. ЕС вновь повторяет о своей полной поддержке Минской группы ОБСЕ и усилий ее сопредседателей, направленных на мирное урегулирование конфликт."

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.
