ЕС призывает к немедленному освобождению задержанных в Ереване протестующих

Европейский Союз потребовал немедленно освободить протестующих, задержанных в Армении, при осуществлении своего права на мирные собрания. В заявлении пресс-секретаря Службы внешних действий Европейского Союза, опубликованном в Брюсселе, говорится, что "право на свободу мирных собраний и в соответствии с законом является универсальным и фундаментальным правом всех".

Сегодня утром были арестованы лидер массовых протестов Никол Пашинян и несколько других членов парламента, а также лидеры гражданского общества и протестующие, которые принимали участие в мирных протестах по всей Армении на протяжении последних десяти дней.

В заявлении Европейского Союза сказано:

Европейский Союз ожидает, что власти Армении будут полностью соблюдать это право и будут применять закон справедливо и пропорционально в соответствии с международными обязательствами Армении, в том числе в рамках Европейской конвенции о защите прав человека и основных свобод. Все задержанные при осуществлении своего основного права на собрания в соответствии с законом, должны быть немедленно освобождены.

Крайне важно, чтобы все вовлеченные стороны проявляли сдержанность и действовали ответственно. Необходимо обеспечить инклюзивный диалог, к которому призвал президент Арман Саркисян, направленный на немедленное и мирное урегулирование сложившейся ситуации. Поэтому неутешительно и тревожно, что сегодняшняя короткая встреча премьер-министра Сержа Саргсяна и депутата Николо Пашиняна не помешала дальнейшей эскалации.

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.
