Саргсян примет участие в инаугурации Рохани в Тегеране.

Президент Армении Серж Саргсян, как ожидается, примет участие в инаугурации нового президента Ирана Хасана Рохани, которая состоится в это воскресенье, в Тегеране. На церемонии, как ожидается, будут присутствовать всего несколько мировых лидеров, лидеры ближайших соседей Ирана. Азербайджан, как ожидается, будет представлен в лице председателя парламента.

Иран все еще остается зажатым в споре с международным сообществом о своей ядерной программе. Конгресс США на этой неделе обсудит возможность введения новых санкции в отношении Ирана. Но сегодня в мире звучат много призывов к США и ЕС использовать избрание нового президента Ирана, который считается более умеренным, чем его предшественник, и протянуть руку новому руководству этой страны.

У Армении традиционно были хорошие отношения с Ираном, и, учитывая свои проблемы с другими соседями - Турцией и Азербайджаном, зависела от Ирана в наземных транспортных коммуникациях с внешним миром. Однако, Армения в последние годы развивала свои отношения с ЕС и как ожидается в ноябре подпишет Соглашение об ассоциации с ЕС. Поэтому армянской дипломатии надо быть еще более осторожной в установлении баланса между ее отношениями с Ираном с другими ее интересами. Однако, армянские дипломаты настаивают, что нет никакого противоречия в их стратегии и, что Армения может сыграть положительную роль в нормализации отношений Ирана с внешним миром.

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.
