Армения и Азербайджан отмечают годовщину военных действий 2016 года

Армения и Азербайджан во вторник (2 апреля) отметили годовщину крупномасштабных боевых действий между их войсками в 2016 году. 2-3 апреля 2016 года между армянскими и азербайджанскими войсками начались широкомасштабные боевые действия по всей линии соприкосновения в зоне нагорно-карабахского конфликта. Прекращение огня было восстановлено, но только после того, как сотни были убиты и ранены.

В Ереване премьер-министр Никол Пашинян и другие лидеры Армении посетили Пантеон Ераблур и почтили память погибших в бою, возложив цветы к могиле неизвестного солдата.

В Азербайджане президент Ильхам Алиев посетил военную часть спецназа Министерства обороны. Снимки на президентском сайте показывают, что Алиев одет в боевую форму, наблюдая за демонстрацией навыков подразделением спецназа.

Обе стороны сделали заявления по этому поводу. Они дают диаметрально разные взгляды на то, как начался конфликт и кто его начал, а также на то, как развивались события в течение нескольких дней, пока при посредничестве России не было восстановлено прекращение огня.

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.
