И.о. главы МИД НКР:

"Мы не согласны с утверждениями некоторых политологов, комментаторов о том, что переговорный процесс зашел в тупик и что необходимо менять формат  Минской группы ОБСЕ. Переговорный процесс в формате Минской группы выполняет свою миссию. Все проблемы в переговорном процессе однозначно возникают по вине азербайджанской стороны, которая изначально никогда не пыталась искать компромиссов, всегда использовала переговорный процесс в целях антиармянской  пропаганды", - заявил исполняющий обязанности министра иностранных дел Нагорного Карабаха Василий Атаджанян в интервью программе "Вестник" Русской службы Общественной телерадиокомпании НКР.

Как сообщает собкор АрмИнфо в Степанакерте, Василий Атаджанян отметил, что в 2011 году внешнеполитический курс страны активизировался, главным образом, в связи с визитами президента НКР в страны Европы и Америки, встречами в парламентах этих стран, в ходе которых глава карабахского государства ознакомил парламентариев с карабахским конфликтом и процессом его урегулирования. И.о. главы карабахского внешнеполитического ведомства отметил также, что значительную активность в противостоянии современным вызовам проявили также постоянные представительства и дипломатические миссии НКР, аккредитованные в международных организациях.

Отвечая на вопрос о необходимости укрепления мер доверия между сторонами карабахского конфликта, и.о. министра ИД НКР сказал: "Армения и Арцах заявляли об этом с первых дней переговорного процесса и продолжают говорить по сей день. К сожалению, как показывает практика, Азербайджан не просто не готов, но и игнорирует эти меры". В качестве примера тому Василий Атаджанян привел категорический отказ официального Баку от предложения  по отводу снайперов с линии соприкосновения вооруженных сил Нагорного Карабаха и Азербайджана, а также блокирование азербайджанской делегацией на заседании Постоянного совета ОБСЕ запроса на повышение финансирования Офиса Личного представителя Действующего председателя ОБСЕ, обусловленного необходимостью укрепления возможностей Офиса ЛПДП для проведения расследований инцидентов на линии соприкосновения.

Василий Атаджанян назвал авантюрным идею т.н. "межобщинного диалога", которая, по его словам, несет в себе угрозу всему переговорному процессу. "Здесь вырисовывается турецкий сценарий в отношении кипрской проблемы, который Азербайджан хочет взять на вооружение, превратив переговорный процесс в межобщинное урегулирование. Хочу сказать, что эта авантюра изначально была обречена на неудачу. Мы такой формат не принимали, не принимаем и не намерены принимать в будущем", - подчеркнул и.о.  министра ИД НКР.  При этом он отметил, что позиция НКР заключается в том, что статус Нагорного Карабаха не может быть ниже того, который сегодня существует де-факто.  "Решение проблемы должно начаться с решения вопроса статуса. Как только будет решен вопрос статуса, воцарится мир, восстановятся добрососедские отношения, экономические контакты и т.д.", - отметил Василий Атаджанян.

Council of Europe launches new International Claims Commission for Ukraine

Thirty-four countries and the European Union have signed a new convention establishing an International Claims Commission for Ukraine at a diplomatic conference co-hosted by the 46-nation Council of Europe and the Netherlands in the Hague. The diplomatic conference was attended by leaders and high-level representatives from over 50 states, including the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, and the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Dick Schoof.  “Today marks a major step forward in ensuring accountability for Ukraine. The International Claims Commission represents justice and hope for tens of thousands of victims—our determination that those who have suffered will not be forgotten. I call for quick ratifications so we can get the commission rapidly up and running for the people of Ukraine,” said Council of Europe Secretary General Alain Berset. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said: “We expect that every mechanism for compensation from the Register of Damage and Claims Commission to the actual payments – will start working and receive strong and sufficient international support, so that people can truly feel that any kind of damage caused by the war can be compensated. This war, and Russia’s responsibility for it, MUST become a clear example – so that others learn not to choose aggression.” “Accountability is about creating the conditions for peace that endures. And therefore, accountability is a condition of security – today and for the future. But accountability is not only about Ukraine. And it is not only about one aggressor and one victim. Accountability is about Europe. About every country in Europe. It is about whether Europe, as a whole, is willing to defend its peace,” said Maia Sandu, President of the Republic of Moldova, which currently holds the Presidency of the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers. The Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Dick Schoof, said: “Every day Russia is deliberately bombarding homes, destroying businesses and damaging infrastructure in Ukraine. Russia must compensate Ukraine for the damage caused. That is why we have launched the International Claims Commission for Ukraine and we are honoured to host it.” The International Claims Commission will be the second part of a comprehensive compensation mechanism related to Russia’s war of aggression, building on the existing Register of Damage for Ukraine. The claims commission will be established within the framework of the Council of Europe and will also be open to other countries. The Register of Damage for Ukraine, created in 2023, collects and records compensation claims submitted by individuals, organisations and public bodies in Ukraine. Forty-four states and the European Union have so far joined the Register, which has already received 86,000 claims. The International Claims Commission will review, assess and decide upon claims submitted to the Register of Damage for Ukraine and determine the amount of compensation, if any, which is due in each case. The convention establishing the commission will enter into force once it has been ratified by 25 signatories, as long as sufficient funds have been secured to support its initial work.
