Майк Пенс: "Мы с Вами"

Вице-президент Соединенных Штатов, Майк Пенс, выразил решительную приверженность США независимости и территориальной целостности Грузии в различных выступлениях в ходе своего короткого визита в Тбилиси, в рамках европейского тура.

Во время ужина, состоявшегося в понедельник вечером (31 июля), Пенс сообщил грузинской стороне, что президент США Дональд Трамп направил очень четкий посыл: "Мы с вами; мы стоим с вами за свободу и за наши общие ценности".

Пенс повторил это сообщение во вторник утром, в ходе встречи с представителями оппозиционных партий Грузии. "Мы получили ясную поддержку от вице-президента Соединенных Штатов в отношении безопасности Грузии и территориальной целостности страны," - сказал журналистам после встречи с вице-президентом США, Давид Бакрадзе, лидер партии Европейская Грузия.

"Прозвучало очень четкое послание о том, что новая администрация США и президент Трамп продолжают проводить четкую политику в поддержке безопасности Грузии, что является самой большой гарантией того, что в будущем Грузия обязательно станет единой, станет членом НАТО и будет защищенной и успешной страной, такой как Эстония сегодня, откуда прибыл вице-президент США, и, например, Черногория, куда он направляется из Грузии. Послания и маршрут визита Майка Пенса однозначно подтверждают решительную поддержку США территориальной целостности Грузии," - сказал журналистам Давид Бакрадзе.

По его словам, в ходе встречи с оппозицией состоялась открытая дискуссия, в ходе которой также говорилось и о поддержке процесса интеграции Грузии в НАТО.

По словам Давида Бакрадзе, речь шла о внутреннем развитии страны и проблемах, существующих в этом направлении.

"США очень заинтересованы в том, чтобы Грузия была стабильной демократией. Стабильная демократия - это ключ к нашей безопасности, евроатлантической интеграции и экономическому развитию. Все это зависит от демократического развития страны", - сказал Давид Бакрадзе.

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.
