Москва продолжает сложную игру балансирования по Карабаху, одновременно продолжая продавать вооружения и проповедовать мир.

Правительство России продолжает сложную игру балансирования по карабахскому вопросу, и в ее отношениях с Арменией и Азербайджаном.

Саммит Организации Договора о Коллективной Безопасности (ОДКБ), состоявшийся в Москве на этой неделе, в котором приняла участие Армения, являющаяся членом этой организации, но не Азербайджан, призвал к мирному урегулированию нагорно-карабахского конфликта и подчеркнул принципы неприменения силы, территориальной целостности и права народов на самоопределение в качестве основы, на которой может быть достигнуто урегулирование.

С другой стороны, Россия продолжает снабжать обеих участников нагорно-карабахского конфликта огромными поставками оружия. Военная техника в Баку продается по коммерческим ценам, в то время, как Армения, которая является членом ОДКБ, получает большую часть своих поставок оружия по сниженным ценам.

Многие наблюдатели видят противоречие между призывами Москвы к мирному урегулированию конфликта и её поставками оружия сторонам конфликта. Это связано с озабоченностью России, что она остается преобладающей силой в регионе, что требует хороших отношений с  правительствами обеих стран. Обеспечение военных поставок является одной из стратегий в этом направлении.

С другой стороны, дипломатические инициативы России по карабахскому конфликту приостановились в течение последних месяцев, пока  Путин и Медведев меняются должностями. Пока не ясно, каким образом они возобновят этот процесс, и возобновят ли вообще.

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
