Генсек ОДКБ:

Военная операция против Ирана со стороны США и их союзников потрясет весь огромный регион со всеми вытекающими отсюда катастрофическими последствиями. Об этом 21 февраля заявил генеральный секретарь Организации договора о коллективной безопасности Николай Бордюжа в ходе видеомоста Ереван-Москва.

"Дестабилизация региона в результате удара по Ирану произойдет в политическом, экономическом, военном, экологическом и миграционном аспектах. Мы всегда говорили, что категорически возражаем против применения силы и даже мысль об этом для нас неприемлема. Мы надеемся, что здравый смысл все же возьмет верх, и нам удастся избежать подобной катастрофы", - отметил Бордюжа. В то же время он добавил, что в ОДКБ разрабатываются возможные сценарии действий в случае удара по Ирану и возникновения в результате этого потока беженцев.

Напомним, что страны ЕС приняли решение о введении новых санкций против Ирана, связанных с его ядерной программой. По мнению европейцев, Тегеран по-прежнему не желает сотрудничать с международным сообществом по вопросам, связанным с развитием атомной программы. В ответ на решение ЕС ввести запрет на импорт иранской нефти Тегеран пригрозил перекрыть Ормузский пролив. США в свою очередь уже заявили о своей готовности воспрепятствовать этому при помощи военного флота. Вместе с тем, по мнению многих экспертов, удар по Ирану может быть нанесен уже в июне этого года.

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Today, commonspace.eu starts a new regular weekly series. THURSDAY INTERVIEW, conducted by Lauri Nikulainen, will host  persons who are thinkers, opinion shapers, and implementors in their countries and spheres. We start the series with an interview with Murad Muradov, a leading person in Azerbaijan's think tank community. He is also the first co-chair of the Action Committee for a new Armenian-Azerbaijani Dialogue. Last September he made history by being the first Azerbaijani civil society activist to visit Armenia after the 44 day war, and the start of the peace process. Speaking about this visit Murad Muradov said: "My experience was largely positive. My negative expectations luckily didn’t play out. The discussions were respectful, the panel format bringing together experts from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey was particularly valuable during the NATO Rose-Roth Seminar in Yerevan, and media coverage, while varied in tone, remained largely constructive. Some media outlets though attempted to represent me as more of a government mouthpiece than an independent expert, which was totally misleading.  Overall, I see these initiatives as important steps in rebuilding trust and normalising professional engagement. The fact that soon a larger Azerbaijani civil society visits to Armenia followed, reinforces the sense that this process is moving in the right direction."
