Давутоглу посетит Армению в ближайшие дни. Визит министра иностранных дел Турции является признаком постоянного интереса к нормализации армяно-турецких отношений

Министр иностранных дел Турции Ахмед Давутоглу на следующей неделе посетит Армению в знак того, что и Армения, и Турция продолжают поиск путей нормализации их отношений.

Давутоглу заявил, что он принял приглашение Армении для участия в заседании Организации Черноморского экономического сотрудничества (ОЧЭС) в Ереване, 12 декабря.

"Турция является одним из членов-учредителей организации. Штаб-квартира организации находится в Стамбуле, где Армения, которая является членом организации, также имеет своего представителя. Я получил приглашение и решил принять его после консультаций с президентом", сказал Давутоглу журналистам на пресс-конференции в Анкаре.

В то же время, согласно турецким СМИ, Давутоглу встретился вчера со своим армянским коллегой Эдвардом Налбандяном в ходе заседания Совета министров ОБСЕ в столице Украины, Киеве. Он также провел встречи со своим азербайджанским коллегой Эльмаром Мамедъяровым и министром иностранных дел России Сергеем Лавровым.

Турция и Армения были близки к восстановлению дипломатических отношений в 2009 году после подписания ряда соглашений, направленных на нормализацию отношений между ними. Однако, соглашения так и не были ратифицированы. Азербайджан оказал давление на Турцию, с целью блокировать эти соглашения пока не будет достигнут прогресс в процессе урегулирования нагорно-карабахского конфликта. Армянская диаспора в свою очередь критиковала правительство Армении из-за нормализации отношений с Анкарой без предварительного признания зверств в Анатолии в первой половине 20-го века в качестве геноцида.

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)
