Первая жертва в этом году в зоне карабахского конфликта

В зоне нагорно-карабахского конфликта произошел инцидент. Азербайджан сообщает, что один из его солдат, сотрудник пограничной службы Азербайджана, был убит выстрелом армянского снайпера во второй половине дня, во вторник (7 января). Имя погибшего военнослужащего Фарзалиев Фарзалы Алимовсум оглу. Сообщается, что инцидент произошел в северном секторе международной границы между Арменией и Азербайджаном, где азербайджанский регион населенный казахами соприкосается с армянским регионом Тавуш.

Армянская сторона не подтвердила данный инцидент. Однако пресс-секретарь Министерства обороны Армении Арцрун Ованнисян во вторник вечером написал в Facebook, что армянские силы открыли предупредительный огонь, когда азербайджанцы пытались провести инженерные работы в этом районе. Эта претензия была категорически опровергнута азербайджанской стороной, которая настаивает на том, что никаких инженерных работ не велось и что это было неспровоцированным нарушением прекращения огня.

Ситуация в зоне нагорно-карабахского конфликта и на армяно-азербайджанской международной границе была достаточно спокойной в праздничные дни, и о серьезных инцидентах не сообщалось. Поэтому вчерашняя гибель является зловещим признаком и может означать, что в ближайшие дни могут произойти новые инциденты.

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.
