Бако Саакян официально вступил в должность президента Карабаха

В четверг (7 сентября) Бако Саакян дал присягу на свой третий срок на посту президента самопровозглашенной Нагорно-Карабахской Республики (НКР). Церемония прошла в парламенте самопровозглашенной Республики, в Степанакерте.

Нагорный Карабах официально признан международным сообществом территорией Азербайджана, но армянское население региона отделилось от него во время конфликта в 1990-х годах. В результате конфликта азербайджанское население было вынуждено покинуть свои дома.

Саакян был переизбран на пост президента на третий срок Парламентом самопровозглашенной Республики 19 июля. Его срок на посту истекает в 2020 году, тогда же состоится всенародное голосование среди армянского населения Нагорного Карабаха по результатам которого и будет избран новый президент. В своей инаугурационной речи Саакян сказал: "За минувшие годы мы осуществили и осуществляем миссию, направленную на то, чтобы высоко держать честь армянского народа. И в будущем мы сделаем всё для того, чтобы высоко держать честь и достоинство армянского народа".

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.
