Нагорный Карабах: ЕС продолжит следить за ситуацией

Специальный представитель Европейского Союза по внешней политике и политике безопасности Джозеп Боррелль в воскресенье (18 октября) провел разговоры с министрами иностранных дел Армении и Азербайджана, чтобы обсудить текущий конфликт между двумя странами. В воскресенье вечером Боррелль выступил с заявлением, в котором повторил свой призыв к прекращению огня и решительно осудил все нападения на гражданское население.

В заявлении сказано:

Европейский Союз приветствует совместное объявление Арменией и Азербайджаном о прекращении огня в гуманитарных целях, начало которого было запланировано на 00:00 (по местному времени) вчера вечером, после посреднических усилий президента Франции Эммануэля Макрона в координации с другими сопредседателями Минской группой ОБСЕ. ЕС сожалеет о том, что, к сожалению, нарушения продолжаются, и все еще сообщается о боевых действиях в Нагорном Карабахе и вокруг него. Это приводит к еще большим страданиям гражданского населения. Это обостряет конфликт между государствами и соответствующими обществами, еще более затрудняя заживление ран. Население Нагорного Карабаха уже испытало чрезмерные страдания. В целом конфликт привел к большим и недопустимым жертвам среди гражданского населения. ЕС решительно осуждает все подобные нападения, независимо от их происхождения.

Я только что позвонил министрам иностранных дел Армении и Азербайджана, чтобы убедить их в том, что прекращение огня должно быть безоговорочным и строго соблюдаться обеими сторонами. Я также подчеркнул, что нападения на мирных жителей должны быть немедленно прекращены. Их нельзя оправдать. Я повторил, что ЕС по-прежнему готов поддержать стороны и ОБСЕ в долгосрочном урегулировании конфликта.

ЕС продолжит следить за ситуацией.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
