Иванишвили обращается к Абхазии и Южной Осетии в своей скорбной речи по случаю годовщины августовской войны сообщая, что он готов к прямому диалогу.

Премьер-министр Грузии, Бидзина Иванишвили, в своем обращении к новобранцев в день годовщины 5-летия августовской войны 2008 года между Грузией и Россией почтил тех, кто боролся и погиб за грузинский народ, но подчеркнул необходимость для Грузии извлечения уроков из конфликта.

Иванишвили заявил:

"Я надеюсь, что мы сделаем правильные выводы из этих трагических дней в истории Грузии и должным образом определим планы на будущее. Я убежден, что наша последовательная политика позволит нам восстановить в полном объеме мирные отношения между грузинами и осетинами, грузинами и абхазцами. Мы восстановим нашу силу и сможем простить друг друга. Тем не менее, этого недостаточно. Мы должны также добиться успеха в признании собственных ошибок. Мы должны исправить то, что еще можно исправить. Нынешнее положение дел более неприемлемо.

Мы готовы к прямому диалогу с нашими абхазскими и осетинскими братьями. Я убежден, что мы найдем общий язык для создания общих отношений в будущем."

В той же речи Иванишвили заявил:

"В августе 2008 года Россия осуществила вооруженную агрессию против Грузии. Оккупированные территории были признаны Россией в качестве независимых государств. Это был тяжелый удар для государственности Грузии. К сожалению, Грузия также виновата в произошедшем, что было подтверждено Европейским Союзом в его докладе в 2009 году.

Мы должны не только сделать ясные выводы из этих трагических событии, но и также подумать о завтрашнем дне. Поэтому, несмотря ни на что, мы ищем формы общения с Россией. В конце прошлого года мы начали прямой диалог. На начальном этапе, мы нацелены на решение конкретных вопросов. На следующем этапе, мы должны будем решить еще более трудные задачи. Доброжелательное отношение между нашими народами дает нам надежду, что этот процесс будет развиваться позитивно".

Azerbaijani members of thematic groups for dialogue with Armenians briefed, as work on five final reports continues in earnest

On Friday, (26 September) there was another amazing event in the process of Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue, this time in Baku. Around twenty five Azerbaijanis involved in five thematic groups established by LINKS Europe earlier this year were briefed by Murad Muradov, co-Chair of the thematic group on Peace and Security; Liman Namazova, Chair of the thematic group on Environment; Lala Jumayeva, Chair of the thematic group on gender and diversity; Nigar Gurbanli, Deputy Chair of the thematic group on regional connectivity; and Ramazan Samadov, Deputy Chair of the thematic group on Governance, on the work done so-far. Murad Muradov spoke about his visit to Yerevan earlier in the week, and his speech to Armenian thematic group members. He said the momentum for peace, dialogue and regional co-operation was stronger than ever before. Ambassadors and other representatives of EU member states and others, as well as representatives of the EU Delegation, the EUSR office and other international institutions were in attendance. In a short speech to the gathering, LINKS Europe Director, Dr Dennis Sammut, said that enemies of peace remained active in both Armenia and Azerbaijan. Many had been warmongers for years, and it was difficult for them to change. However it was important to engage them, and have an open and honest discussion with them. The Azerbaijani members of the thematic groups are eager to meet their Armenian counterparts in person in Tbilisi 27-28 October, when they hope to finish the work on the five reports.
