Действующий председатель ОБСЕ на этой неделе посетит Южный Кавказ

Министр иностранных дел Германии Франк-Вальтер Штайнмайер, который в этом году также является председателем в Организации по безопасности и сотрудничеству в Европе (ОБСЕ), в конце этой недели посетит Южный Кавказ, гле проведет ряд встреч с руководителями стран этого региона. Штайнмайер, как ожидается, посетит Армению 29 июня, затем Азербайджан и после уже Грузию.

По словам политического редактора Commonspace.eu, решение Штайнмайера направиться в регион, несмотря на проблемы в Европе из-за "brexit" указывает на прилежания немецкого председательства в ОБСЕ в направлении связанных с неразрешенными конфликтами на Южном Кавказе.

"Штайнмайер в последние месяцы посвятил много времени и энергии карабахскому конфликту, а в апреле сыграл важную роль в дипломатической деятельности, которая последовала за вспышкой насилия на линии соприкосновения в зоне карабахского конфликта. Неразрешенные конфликты будут главным вопросом переговоров в ходе его визита.

В Азербайджане Штайнмайер также может поднять вопрос о представительстве ОБСЕ в Баку. Офис ОБСЕ в Баку в прошлом году был закрыт по просьбе правительства Азербайджана, но известно, что организация по-прежнему заинтересована в том, чтобы быть представленной в этой стране в той или иной форме. В Грузии Штайнмайер также обсудит ход подготовки к предстоящим парламентским выборам в октябре.

В целом визит имеет огромное значение и Штайнмайер воспользуется им для того, чтобы заверить руководства трех стран в поддержке Европы на благо и развитие их стран, и мира в регионе".

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)
