Джо Байден провел переговоры с президентами Армении и Азербайджана

В пятницу, вице-президент США, Джо Байден, в ходе телефонных разговоров с президентами Армении и Азербайджана обсудил нагорно-карабахский конфликт.

Соединенные Штаты принимают участие в разрешении конфликта вокруг Карабаха в качестве сопредседателя Минской группы ОБСЕ. В минувший понедельник, в Вене, госсекретарь США Джон Керри встречался с двумя президентами во время их первой встречи после четырех дней боевых столкновений в апреле.

"Вице-президент приветствовал соглашения, достигнутые между Арменией и Азербайджаном в ходе дискуссий под эгидой стран-сопредседателей Минской группы ОБСЕ в Вене 16 мая, и лидеры согласились, что важно быстро выполнить обещание расширить существующую миссию ОБСЕ и финализировать механизм расследований ОБСЕ", - говорится в сообщении Белого дома в пятницу вечером.

"Вице-президент призвал и впредь уважать режим прекращения огня и подчеркнул важность запланированных на июнь обсуждений по возобновлению переговоров по всеобъемлющему урегулированию".

Байден встречался с обоими президентами на саммите в Вашингтоне в конце марта, за несколько дней до начала боевых действий между Арменией и Азербайджаном, худшими за последние два десятилетия, которые вспыхнули 2 апреля.

Два других сопредседателя Минской группы ОБСЕ представлены Россией и Францией. Ранее в пятницу, премьер-министр России, Дмитрий Медведев, совершил поездку в Ереван, где провел встречу с президентом Саргсяном. Медведев повторил приверженность России по разрешению конфликта. Как стало известно в четверг, министр иностранных дел Франции Жан-Марк Эйро в ближайшее время посетит Баку.

Syrian president al Sharaa at the White House

Syrian president, Mohammed al Sharaa met with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday (10 November). Trump met with Sharaa in the first-ever visit by a Syrian president to the White House, six months after the two first met in Saudi Arabia, and just days after Washington said that the Syrian leader, who once led an Al-Qaeda affiliate group, was no longer a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist." Washington suspended the imposition of Caesar Act sanctions on Syria in part for 180 days, the Treasury Department said as the meeting took place. The move replaces a previous waiver enacted on 23 May, it said On Friday, the US lifted sanctions on Sharaa and Interior Minister Anas Khattab, a day after the UN Security Council took the same step. Sharaa, 42, took power last year after his fighters launched a lightning offensive from their Idlib and overthrew longtime Syrian President Bashar al-Assad just days later on December 8. Syria's regional realignment has since moved  away from key allies of the former regime, Iran and Russia, and toward Turkey, the Gulf - and Washington. Syria's presidency said that Sharaa and Trump discussed the bilateral relationship, "the ways to strengthen and develop it, as well as a number of regional and international issues of common interest." After al Sharaa and Trump met in Riyadh in May, Trump announced he would lift all sanctions on Syria.
