Митинг оппозиции в Баку

В воскресенье, в Баку, прошел митинг азербайджанской оппозиции в рамках "Национального совета".

Митинг прошел на стадионе "Mahsul" в Ясамальском районе города. Акция прошла с одобрения муниципальных властей Баку. Перед митингом Народный фронт Азербайджана провел демонстрацию в знак протеста против предстоящего 26 сентября референдума.

Как сообщает Meydan TV, лидеры партии потребовали отмены референдума, освобождения политических заключенных и покончить с политической и экономической коррупцией.

Лидер "Народного фронта" Али Керимли назвал это событие "новым стартом к свободе".

Правящая партия Азербайджана заявила, что деятельность оппозиции связана с иностранным финансированием. Информационное агентство Trend приводит слова заместителя исполнительного секретаря ПЕА, депутата Сиявуша Новрузова, который сказал, что организаторы акции в Баку получают финансовые ресурсы от иностранных организаций. По его словам, на митинге собрались родственники партийных лидеров и членов Национального совета.

Новрузов сказал, что организаторы митинга попытались продемонстрировать иностранным организациям, что в Азербайджане есть протестное движение.

По словам политического редактора Commonspace.eu, митинги оппозиции являются редким событием в Азербайджане и, как правило, проводятся под жестким контролем со стороны властей. Митинг оппозиции, состоявшийся 11 сентября, является частью кампании в преддверии референдума, намеченного на 26 сентября. Несколько оппозиционных организации призывают к отмене референдума. Но это вряд ли произойдет, а если же явка 26 сентября будет очень низкой, то правительству придется прибегнуть к вбросу бюллетеней для увеличения числа проголосовавших.

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
