На Кавказе бушуют лесные пожары

На Кавказе, в разных его частях, за последние дни произошли крупные лесные пожары.

В Грузии, с понедельника (21 августа), борются с лесным пожаром, охватившим площадь в 12 гектара в Боржоми-Харагаульском национальном парке. Как сообщается, для оказания помощи в тушении пожара Азербайджан направил вертолет Министерства по чрезвычайным ситуациям.

В Армении, в результате пожара в Хосровском заповеднике, который бушевал с 12 августа, были уничтожены около 200 гектаров пиковых и 900 гектаров дубовых лесов, а также 1600 гектаров травяного покрытия. К воскресенью (20 августа) более ста пожарным и спасателям, а также сотрудникам лесного хозяйства удалось локализовать пожар.

Между тем, по другую сторону Кавказа, в российском городе Ростове-на-Дону в понедельник днем пожар охватил более 30 домов.

Огонь начался в результате взрыва газа и вскоре распространился на территорию площадью около 10,000 квадратных метров, сообщает агентство «Интерфакс» со ссылкой на местное отделение МЧС. Пресс-секретарь энергетической компании «Донэнерго» Анна Ларченко сообщила информационному агентству ТАСС, что более 1,200 человек в зоне пожара в центре Ростова-на-Дону остались без электричества. "Из-за пожара две трансформаторные подстанции, расположенные в зоне пожара, должны были быть закрыты", - пояснила она, добавив, что источник питания будет восстановлен, как только пожарные из МЧС смогут локализовать пожар.

Согласно ранее опубликованным сообщениям, в результате пожара в Ростове-на-Дону пострадали более 30 частных домов на площади около 10,000 квадратных метров. Сообщений о погибших не поступало, в то же время около 36 человек обратились за медицинской помощью, а семь из них были госпитализированы. В городе объявлено чрезвычайное положение. Спасатели эвакуировали более 650 человек из соседних домов.

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.
