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.

Azerbaijani members of thematic groups for dialogue with Armenians briefed, as work on five final reports continues in earnest

On Friday, (26 September) there was another amazing event in the process of Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue, this time in Baku. Around twenty five Azerbaijanis involved in five thematic groups established by LINKS Europe earlier this year were briefed by Murad Muradov, co-Chair of the thematic group on Peace and Security; Liman Namazova, Chair of the thematic group on Environment; Lala Jumayeva, Chair of the thematic group on gender and diversity; Nigar Gurbanli, Deputy Chair of the thematic group on regional connectivity; and Ramazan Samadov, Deputy Chair of the thematic group on Governance, on the work done so-far. Murad Muradov spoke about his visit to Yerevan earlier in the week, and his speech to Armenian thematic group members. He said the momentum for peace, dialogue and regional co-operation was stronger than ever before. Ambassadors and other representatives of EU member states and others, as well as representatives of the EU Delegation, the EUSR office and other international institutions were in attendance. In a short speech to the gathering, LINKS Europe Director, Dr Dennis Sammut, said that enemies of peace remained active in both Armenia and Azerbaijan. Many had been warmongers for years, and it was difficult for them to change. However it was important to engage them, and have an open and honest discussion with them. The Azerbaijani members of the thematic groups are eager to meet their Armenian counterparts in person in Tbilisi 27-28 October, when they hope to finish the work on the five reports.
