На передовой из-за карабахского конфликта страдает мирное население.

Трое гражданских плучили ранения в начале этой недели, во время свадьбы в Тертерском районе Азербайджана, недалеко от линии соприкосновения армянских и азербайджанских сил в зоне карабахского конфликта. Азербайджанские военные источники обвинили армянские силы в прицельном огне по свадебному шатру, где для празднования свадьбы собрались местные жители, многие из них пожилые люди. Инцидент произошел в понедельник, 1 сентября. Среди пострадавших есть ребенок. Армения отрицает инцидент.

Со стороны Азербайджана последовала резкая реакция на инцидент. Представитель МИД Азербайджана назвал это серьезным нарушением международного гуманитарного права. Представитель министерства Хикмет Гаджиев сообщил журналистам, что международное гуманитарное право строго запрещает любую прямую и преднамеренную атаку на мирных жителей. Гаджиев отметил, что "это преднамеренный акт армянских вооруженных сил является военным преступлением в соответствии с международным уголовным правом".

Произошедший инцидент также был поднят заместителем спикера парламента Азербайджана Бахар Мурадовой. Мурадова сказала, что, несмотря на соглашение о прекращении огня между двумя странами, люди не живут в мире и провокаций подобного рода на линии фронта происходят часто, что является причиной потерь среди мирного населения и, что наносит вред их имуществу. По словам Мурадовой, каждый инцидент такого рода вызывает озабоченность и напоминает всем, что карабахский конфликт является угрозой для мира не только в регионе, но во всем мире. Мурадова призвала сопредседателей Минской группы ОБСЕ предпринять действия, чтобы устранить такие инциденты и прийти к разрешению конфликта.

Nikol Pashinyan re-appointed as Armenian prime minister after decisive June election victory

Armenia president, Vahagn Khachaturyan has re-appointed Nikol Pashinyan as Armenian prime minister, after the decisive victory of his Civil Contract party in parliamentary elections in June. During a ceremony at the Presidential Palace in Yerevan, President Khachaturyan signed a decree on the appointment of Nikol Pashinyan as Prime Minister of the Republic. President Vahagn Khachaturyan said in short remarks: It is a great honor for me to sign a decree on appointing you to the post of Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, for which I received a proposal from the political majority in the National Assembly, under Article 149 of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia. I sincerely congratulate you, I wish you great patience, endurance, and determination to lead us in these difficult times, to lead the country to the future, a prosperous future. Nikol Pashinyan thanked the president and added,  I must say honestly that in 2018, when I assumed the post of Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia as a result of the People's, non-violent, velvet revolution, it would have been difficult to predict that we would go down such a path and I think it would have been difficult to predict that we would be able to overcome this path. But we are where we are, and I think that the key role and significance in all this is unequivocally and undoubtedly the people of the Republic of Armenia, who, after all, have demonstrated special expressions of state consciousness and state-centeredness throughout this period. And of course, this is a great obligation and commitment. Of course, the Government will be formed in the near future and all members of the Government, including me, will already enshrine our obligations to our people in the text of the oath.  In the meantime Ruben Rubinyan has been elected Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia, following a secret vote of MPs. He is a 36-year-old MP from the ruling Civil Contract party, who was one of the deputy speakers in the previous parliament and, until recently, was the special representative in the negotiations on the normalization of relations with Turkey.

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

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."
