Эркин Гадирли: "Я полностью поддерживаю расширение и углубление отношений между Азербайджаном и ЕС"

Выдающийся азербайджанский оппозиционный политик и мыслитель Эркин Гадирли, являющийся членом правления альтернативного движения "REAL", приветствовал продолжающиеся переговоры между Европейским Союзом и Азербайджаном, направленные на заключение нового рамочного соглашения, регулирующего отношения между ними. По словам Гадирли, контакты между ЕС и Азербайджаном должны быть углублены и расширены.

В понедельник (15 мая) Гадирли выступил в Брюссельском пресс-клубе, в центре европейской столицы, в качестве гостя организации LINKS (Диалог, Анализ и Исследования) в рамках своей серии "Мнения и беседы" ("Voices and Conversations").

В беседе с директором LINKS, Деннисом Саммутом, Эркин Гадирли сказал, что европейские институты должны уделять больше внимания тому, что гражданское общество и оппозиционные силы должны сказать по многим вопросам касательно отношений между ЕС и Азербайджаном, и необходимо найти способ, который будет подходящим для всех сторон, и подключить их к диалогу. Именно так, по словам Гадирли, было в 1990-х годах, когда обсуждалось первое соглашение между ЕС и Азербайджаном, и тогда это рассматривали как полезный и необходимый процесс.

Касательно карабахского конфликта Гадирли сказал, что Азербайджан имеет право в соответствии со статьей 51 Устава ООН применить силу для освобождения своих оккупированных территорий, но война наименее желательный вариант /.../ и для достижения решения необходимо использовать диалог.

Говоря о внутриполитической ситуации в Азербайджане, Гадирли сказал, что движение "REAL" будет использовать все законные средства для продвижения своих идей и донесения своего послания азербайджанской общественности. Это включает в себя также участие в выборах.

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
