Азербайджан выражает возмущение из-за гибели мирных жителей на линии соприкосновения

Азербайджан выразил возмущение из-за гибели женщины и ее внучки в результате обстрела со стороны армянских сил на линии соприкосновения в Физулинском районе, во вторник вечером (4 июля). Обе стороны сообщают о серьезных нарушениях прекращения огня в этом районе в 20.30 по местному времени. Как сообщается, еще один мирный житель, мать погибшего ребенка, тяжело ранена.

Азербайджан сообщает, что жертвы стали результатом армянского обстрела села Аханлы, расположенного вблизи к линии соприкосновения армянских и азербайджанских войск. Обе стороны обвиняют друг друга в нарушениях прекращения огня, произошедших  в этом районе вчера вечером. Армения подтвердила, что она обстреляла этот район, заявив, что это было в ответ на предыдущие нарушения режима прекращения огня, имевшие место тем же вечером.

В своем заявлении глава пресс-службы МИД Азербайджана, Хикмет Гаджиев, обвинил армянские силы в преднамеренном нападении на гражданских лиц. Гаджиев сказал, что своими действиями Армения нарушила Женевскую конвенцию и другие нормативные акты международного права. Возмущение также выразили жители Аханлы и близлежащих населенных пунктов.

Со своей стороны армянские силы заявили, что они обстреляли район "для подавления действий противника", "вследствие чего ВС НКР подавили огневую точку в селе Алханлу", и обвинили Азербайджан в использовании гражданских лиц в качестве живого щита.

Этот инцидент подчеркивает возрастающую опасность для гражданского населения на линии соприкосновения Армянских и Азербайджанских сил, поскольку напряженность в зоне конфликта  продолжает увеличиваться в то время, как переговоры вокруг мирного урегулирования конфликта как представляется, зашли в тупик.

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.
