Медведев заявляет, что СНГ "является важным фактором стабильности на постсоветском пространстве"

Лидеры одиннадцати стран СНГ на этой неделе собрались в Москве, чтобы отметить 20-летие создания Содружества Независимых Государств, которое заменило СССР в декабре 1991 года. Это встреча была возможность для размышления, а также немного для ностальгии. Президент России Дмитрий Медведев напомнил о своих собственных воспоминаниях того дня. "Так получилось, что я улетел из одной страны, которая называлась Союз Советских Социалистических Республик, улетел в Германию, а когда я вернулся – я вернулся в ситуацию принципиально другую, когда нашего общего государства не стало."

Российский лидер добавил: "Не скрою, это тоже создало тогда у меня очень сложные эмоции, но самое главное, что сегодня мы сидим за этим столом, что мы друзья и что мы готовы развивать наши добросердечные отношения."

"Мы про СНГ много чего говорим, за 20 лет очевидно, что Содружество прошло очень непростой путь развития, стороны с разными экономическими условиями, близкой и в то же время отличной культурой доказали, что они не только могут друг друга отлично понимать, но и эффективно сотрудничать на добровольной, равноправной и взаимовыгодной основе."

"СНГ стало важным фактором стабильности, стабильности на постсоветском пространстве, и на самом деле стало влиятельным региональным объединением, даже несмотря на те издержки, которые мы всегда видели и которые на сегодняшний день сохраняются. Вместе нам удалось сделать достаточно много."

Медведев добавил, что СНГ поможет на долгие годы вперед в решении самых разнообразных задач.

Политический редактор Commonspace.eu в своем комментарии говорит, что за двадцать лет своего существования у СНГ немного есть того, что можно показать , и она часто подвергалось критике, как организация, которая создаёт большое количество различных соглашений, и только некоторые из которых когда-нибудь реализовываются. Возможно, её самая большая неудача была неспособность предотвратить войну между Грузией и Россией в августе 2008 года. Признание Россией независимости Абхазии и Южной Осетии впоследствии получило негативную оценку другими странами СНГ, а Грузия покинула организацию вскоре после этого. Однако, СНГ продолжает служить форумом для большинства бывших советских республик, чтобы встретиться и обменяться мнениями, и её роль постепенно перешла в руки других организаций, таких как ОДКБ и ЕврАзЭС, хотя некоторые члены СНГ ясно дали понять, что они не хотят участвовать в этих организациях

On 30 May, Russia recalled its Ambassador to Yerevan for consultations. A terse statement, published on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said, "The Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Armenia , S.P. Kopyrkin, has been summoned to Moscow for consultations in connection with the steps taken by the Armenian leadership to move closer to the European Union, which are detrimental to cooperation within the EAEU." This followed a statement issued the day before, by the leaders of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) that challenges the Armenian trajectory towards approximating to the European Union. Vladimir Putin is undertood to have personally pushed the other four EAEU leaders to issue the statement, which said: "Taking into account the significant risks to the economic security of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (hereinafter referred to as the Union) arising in connection with the preparation of the Republic of Armenia for accession to the European Union, as well as the need to prevent the associated damage to the member states of the Union: decided that the members of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council from the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic and the Russian Federation will report at the next meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in December 2026 on the possible consequences of the suspension of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union with respect to the Republic of Armenia. We share the position on the need to hold a national referendum in the Republic of Armenia as soon as possible on joining the European Union or continuing to be part of the Eurasian Economic Union."

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Today, commonspace.eu starts a new regular weekly series. THURSDAY INTERVIEW, conducted by Lauri Nikulainen, will host  persons who are thinkers, opinion shapers, and implementors in their countries and spheres. We start the series with an interview with Murad Muradov, a leading person in Azerbaijan's think tank community. He is also the first co-chair of the Action Committee for a new Armenian-Azerbaijani Dialogue. Last September he made history by being the first Azerbaijani civil society activist to visit Armenia after the 44 day war, and the start of the peace process. Speaking about this visit Murad Muradov said: "My experience was largely positive. My negative expectations luckily didn’t play out. The discussions were respectful, the panel format bringing together experts from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey was particularly valuable during the NATO Rose-Roth Seminar in Yerevan, and media coverage, while varied in tone, remained largely constructive. Some media outlets though attempted to represent me as more of a government mouthpiece than an independent expert, which was totally misleading.  Overall, I see these initiatives as important steps in rebuilding trust and normalising professional engagement. The fact that soon a larger Azerbaijani civil society visits to Armenia followed, reinforces the sense that this process is moving in the right direction."
