Эдвард Налбандян:

Альтернативы мирному урегулированию нагорно-карабахского конфликта нет. Об это заявил министр иностранных дел Армении Эдвард Налбандян на совместной пресс-конференции с новоназначенным спецпредставителем ЕС на Южном Кавказе Филиппом Лефором.

Налбандян отметил, что на встрече со спецпредом были обсуждены взаимоотношения Армении и Евросоюза, которые получили положительное развитие за последние годы. “Мы обсудили предстоящий саммит «Восточного партнерства» в Варшаве и Соглашение об Ассоциации Армения – ЕС. В настоящее время ведутся подготовительные работы по созданию глубокой и всеобъемлющей зоны свободной торговли между Арменией и Евросоюзом, а также переговоры об облегчении визового режима», - отметил министр. Он выразил уверенность, что в кратчайшие сроки может быть заключено соглашение по либерализации визового режима, а в будущем и его отмене.

Кроме того, глава внешнеполитического ведомства подчеркнул, что были обсуждены региональные вопросы, в частности, развитие переговорного процесса по Карабаху. “Я приветствовал стремление ЕС активизировать свою роль в переговорном процессе и содействовать усилиям Минской группы ОБСЕ. ЕС неоднократно выступал с заявлениями по этому вопросу, и мы убеждены, что для решения этой задачи альтернативы мирным переговорам нет. Попытки применения силы или угрозы ее применения будут осуждены международным сообществом”, - подчеркнул Налбандян. Он напомнил, что упоминание об этом было сделано в ходе саммита «Большой восьмерки» в Довиле.

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
