Кнессет обсудит вопрос Геноцида армян

Израильский парламент обсудит вопрос Геноцида армян в течение декабря. Как сообщает портал IzRus, заседание комиссии Кнессета по образованию, культуре и спорту, посвященное проблеме признания Геноцида армян 1915 года в Османской империи перенесено на середину декабря. Согласно изданию, решение о передаче данного вопроса на рассмотрение этой комиссии было принято на пленарном заседании Кнессета в мае текущего года. Данное обсуждение в комиссии, возглавляемой депутатом от фракции "Наш дом Израиль" Алексом Миллером, планировалось на 5 декабря. Однако за четыре дня до того было принято решение отсрочить заседание на неделю-полторы.

Как пояснил порталу IzRus Алекс Миллер, причиной послужило желание спикера Кнессета Реувена Ривлина принять участие в этом заседании. Но 5 декабря он будет за границей. Поэтому Ривлин попросил инициаторов обсуждения этого вопроса на майском пленарном заседании Кнессета, депутатов Гальон (МЕРЕЦ) и Эльдада ("Ихуд леуми"), согласовать новую дату созыва комиссии по образованию, культуре и спорту по данному вопросу.

Миллер добавил, что в любом случае это заседание состоится в течение декабря. Новая дата будет определена, скорее всего, в начале следующей недели.

Геноцид армян 1915 года является первым геноцидом ХХ века. Турция традиционно отвергает обвинения в массовом истреблении около полутора миллиона армян в годы Первой мировой войны и крайне болезненно реагирует на критику со стороны Запада во вопросу армянского геноцида.

Факт Геноцида армян признан многими странами, в частности, Уругваем, Россией, Францией, Литвой, нижней палатой парламента Италии, большинством штатов США, парламентами Греции, Кипра, Аргентины, Бельгии, Уэльса, Швеции, Национальным Советом Швейцарии, Палатой общин парламента Канады и сеймом Польши. День памяти жертв Геноцида отмечается 24 апреля.

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.
