Тему выборов в Карабахе подняли на совещании ОБСЕ в Вене.

Представители 56 стран-участниц ОБСЕ, а также делегаты от международных организаций и представители гражданского общества в настоящее время находятся в Вене для обсуждения результатов наблюдения за выборами и рекомендаций, полученных от миссий наблюдателей ОБСЕ. Встреча организована ирландским председателем ОБСЕ и БДИПЧ.

Посол Ирландии Оуэн О'Лири, председатель Постоянного совета ОБСЕ, заявил, что наблюдение за выборами имеет решающее значение для развития и поддержания доверия к демократическим системам правления. "Наблюдения за выборами от ОБСЕ проводятся как в интересах народа страны проведения выборов, так и на благо сообщества ОБСЕ в целом", заявил О'Лири. "Миссий ОБСЕ по наблюдению за выборами повышают легитимность и демократичность выборов тем, что избирательный процесс и результаты отражают волю народа и получают признание как внутри, так и за пределами страны".

Азербайджанские и армянские дипломаты, присутствовавшие на совещании, столкнулись между собой во время первой сессии. Представитель Азербайджана обратил внимание на президентские выборы в Нагорном Карабахе, запланированные на 19 июля. Она утверждает, что выборы есть попытка правительства Армении узаконить оккупацию Нагорного Карабаха. Она напомнила участникам, что сотни тысяч азербайджанцев остаются перемещенными в результате конфликта и попросила государства-члены ОБСЕ убедится, что их граждане не станут наблюдателями на выборах.

Со своей стороны армянская делегация отвергла притязания Азербайджана и заявила, что выборы это выражение свободной воли народа Нагорного Карабаха и ОБСЕ и международное сообщество должно приветствовать их и дать им поддержку. Он сообщил, что международные наблюдатели будут наблюдать за выборами.

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.
