Израильский политолог:

Посещение министром сельского хозяйства и сельского развития Израиля Орит Нокед Мемориала памяти жертв Геноцида армян и ее запись в книге для высокопоставленных гостей очень важно. Сегодня, когда в Кнессете продолжаются попытки принятия решения о признании Геноцида, мнение каждого депутата, тем более члена правительства, особенно, дорого стоит. Подобное мнение выразил АрмИнфо директор Института стран Восточной Европы и СНГ в Тель-Авиве, депутат Кнессета XV созыва, доктор Александр Цинкер. 16 апреля член Кнессета Израиля, министр сельского хозяйства и сельского развития Орит Нокед и возглавляемая ею делегация в рамках официального визита в Армению посетили Мемориал памяти жертв Геноцида армян в Цицернакаберде. Нокед возложила венок к Вечному огню и почтила память невинных жертв, ознакомилась с экспозицией музея. "Я как женщина, как еврейка и как человек потрясена здесь увиденным, убийствами армянских граждан и семей", - написала в книге почетных гостей "Цицернакаберда" израильский министр.

Комментируя возможные дальнейшие шаги в наведении политических и экономических мостов между Арменией и Израилем, Цинкер отметил, что приезд Нокед в Армению примечателен тем, что стал первым за 20 лет дипломатических отношений официальным визитом в страну представителя израильского правительства. По его мнению, в последние годы Израиль вообще пытается активизировать свою деятельность на южно-кавказском направлении, рассматривая страны бывшего СССР, как возможных стратегических партнеров в этом регионе.

"Взаимоотношения Израиля с Азербайджаном и Грузией, пройдя ряд подъемов и падений, сегодня складываются более чем продуктивно. Видимо пришло время начать поиск взаимных интересов и сдвинуть с практического нуля торгово-экономические отношения и между нашими странами. На мой взгляд, нельзя характеризовать факт посещения Армении израильским министром, как серьезный прорыв в двусторонних отношениях. Правда, если еще нельзя сказать, что "лед тронулся", то что "он начал трещать", можно говорить с уверенностью", - подытожил израильский политолог.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
