Никол Пашинян выступил с речью в Степанакерте в преддверии Панармянских игр

Премьер-министр Армении Никол Пашинян в понедельник (5 августа) прибыл в Степанакерт с рабочим визитом в преддверии открытия 7-х Панармянских игр.

В речи, произнесенной позднее на митинге на центральной площади Степанакерта, премьер-министр рассказал о ряде стратегических целей развития Армении, которые должны быть достигнуты к 2050 году. Среди них:

- увеличение населения Армении до 5 миллионов человек;
- создание 1,5 млн. рабочих мест и ликвидация бедности;
- иметь как минимум пять компаний с капитализацией 10 миллиардов долларов, а также более 10,000 стартапов;
- увеличить ВВП в 15 раз;
- увеличение средней заработной платы в семь раз;
- войти в топ-20 стран по индексу боеготовности армии с топ-10 в рейтинге разведслужб;
- увеличение расходов на здравоохранение в 20 раз и увеличение доступа к здравоохранению на 100 процентов;
- и увеличить расходы на образование в 20 раз.

Премьер-министр также выразил желание, чтобы армянская футбольная команда выиграла один чемпионат Европы или мира к 2050 году; завоевать не менее 25 олимпийских золотых медалей; и иметь звание чемпиона мира по шахматам.

В его речи некоторые отметили усиление риторики Пашиняна относительно объединения Армении с де-факто «Республикой Арцах». Сообщается также, что премьер-министр сказал следующие слова: «Почему я не произношу слово «Арцах»? Да, потому что Арцах - это Армения, и на этом все!»

Речь подверглась резкой критике со стороны правительства Азербайджана.

Всеармянские игры, созданные в 1999 году, изначально планировалось проводить каждые два года; однако с 2003 года игры проводятся раз в четыре года. Традиционно проводится в де-юре Армении, это первый раз, когда игры будут проведены на спорной территории Нагорного Карабаха.

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.
