Глава миссии:

Миссия БДИЧП/ОБСЕ начала свою наблюдательскую работу в Армении. Об этом 22 марта на пресс-конференции в Ереване заявила руководитель миссии Радмила Шекеринска.

Миссия БДИЧП/ОБСЕ, по ее словам, прибыла в Армению в качестве наблюдателей по приглашению президента республики. Миссия будет вести наблюдательскую деятельность до, в течение и после выборов в парламент запланированных на 6 мая текущего года. "На данный момент в Армению прибыло ядро миссии, которое состоит из 13 человек из 12 стран-участников. Через неделю прибудут еще 24 долгосрочных наблюдателя из 17 стран-участников ОБСЕ. А за неделю до начала выборов прибудут еще 250 краткосрочных наблюдателя, которые будут распределены в группы по два человека и направлены на избирательные участки.

Она также, отметила, что миссия, сразу после выборов не покинет страну, а останется наблюдать за поствыборной ситуацией в Армении. Предварительные результаты мониторинга будут объявлены на следующий день после выборов, а окончательный доклад будет представлен через 8 недель после окончания всей деятельности выборов. На вопрос журналистов о том, почему миссия представлена столь небольшим числом наблюдателей, Шекеринска отметила, что они "не полицейские, а всего лишь наблюдатели, и качество их работы зависит не от количества участников, а от их профессионализма". При этом, она сослалась на большой опыт работы в этой сфере, заявив, что в Армении БДИЧП/ОБСЕ осуществляет мониторинг уже 8 раз. "Хочу отметить, что мы прибыли в Армению в качестве наблюдателей и нашей основной задачей является ход выборов, а не их результат. Мы не вмешиваемся в ход выборов и не диктуем свои условия",- заявила глава миссии БДИЧП/ОБСЕ.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
