Пашинян говорит о мире, но вновь настаивает на том, что Степанакерт должен участвовать в переговорах

Премьер-министр Армении Никол Пашинян в ходе выступления в Европейском парламенте, подчеркнул важность мира на Южном Кавказе. Но он вновь заявил о необходимости вовлечения руководства армян в Нагорном Карабахе в переговоры, направленные на урегулирование конфликта внутри и вокруг территории.

"Мы рассматриваем Южный Кавказ как регион, где независимые государства живут в мире, солидарности и сотрудничестве. Действительно, в современном мире закрытые границы считаются как минимум экономическим и политическим абсурдом. Мир меняется с каждым днем, двигаясь ко все большей взаимосвязи и взаимозависимости. Наш регион нуждается в новых формах диалога, мирного сосуществования и экономического сотрудничества. Культура диалога, терпимости и компромисса должна доминировать над всеми существующими разногласиями на Южном Кавказе", - заявил Пашинян на встрече с иностранными парламентариями Комитета по внешним связям Европейского парламента в начале своего официального визита в Бельгию и в европейские учреждения в Брюсселе:

Пашинян настоял на том, что Степанакерт тоже должен "сесть за стол переговоров", сказав:

"Мы убеждены, что урегулирование конфликта подразумевает необходимость уважения права народа Нагорного Карабаха на самоопределение.

Люди в этом горном регионе уже более двух десятилетий де-факто живут в независимости. Сегодня там выросло молодое поколение, которое не может себе представить никакой альтернативы независимости.

Если мы стремимся к мирному, справедливому и прочному урегулированию конфликта, народу Нагорного Карабаха должна быть предоставлена возможность самому решать свое будущее. Я не могу представлять народ Нагорного Карабаха. В качестве премьер-министра у меня есть мандат только граждан Армении, а не армянского населения Нагорного Карабаха, которые имеют свою конституцию и формируют свое правительство.

Для меня очевидно, что реального прогресса мирного процесса можно достичь только тогда, когда народ Нагорного Карабаха сядет за стол переговоров, когда будет услышан и учтен голос народа Карабаха".

Пашинян приветствовал "конструктивный и сбалансированный подход Европейского Союза" к карабахской проблеме. Он также сказал, что "Соглашение о всеобъемлющем и расширенном партнерстве с Европейским союзом имеет огромное значение для успеха наших реформ".

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

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).

NATO Chief says war is on Europe's doorstep, and warns against complacency

NATO Chief says war is on Europe's doorstep, and warns against complacency

Russia could attack a NATO country within the next five years, the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, said in a stark new warning. "NATO's own defences can hold for now," Rutte warned in Berlin, but conflict was "next door" to Europe, and he feared "too many are quietly complacent, and too many don't feel the urgency, too many believe that time is on our side. "Russia is already escalating its covert campaign against our societies," Rutte said in a speech in Germany. "We must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents or great-grandparents endured." Earlier this month, Russia's President Vladimir Putin said his country was not planning to go to war with Europe, but it was ready "right now" if Europe wanted to - or started a war. But similar reassurances were given by Moscow in 2022, just before 200,000 Russian troops crossed the border and invaded Ukraine. Putin has accused European countries of hindering US efforts to bring peace in Ukraine - a reference to the role Ukraine's European allies have recently played in trying to change a US peace plan to end the war, whose initial draft was seen as favouring Russia. But Putin was not sincere, Nato's secretary-general said in the German capital, Berlin. Supporting Ukraine, he added, was a guarantee for European security. "Just imagine if Putin got his way; Ukraine under the boot of Russian occupation, his forces pressing against a longer border with Nato, and the significantly increased risk of an armed attack against us." Russia's economy has been on a war footing for more than three years now - its factories churn out ever more supplies of drones, missiles and artillery shells. According to a recent report by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Russia has been producing each month around 150 tanks, 550 infantry fighting vehicles, 120 Lancet drones and more than 50 artillery pieces. The UK, and most of its Western allies, are simply not anywhere near this point. Analysts say it would take years for Western Europe's factories to come close to matching Russia's mass-production of weapons. "Allied defence spending and production must rise rapidly, our armed forces must have what they need to keep us safe," the Nato chief said.
