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.

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."
