Путин «очень обеспокоен» карабахским конфликтом

Российский лидер Владимир Путин сказал, что его очень беспокоит ситуация на Кавказе между Арменией и Азербайджаном. Об этом он сказал в интервью телеканалу Россия 24.

"Это - трагедия, мы очень переживаем. Потому что и Азербайджан, и Армения, Нагорный Карабах - это всё территории, на которых проживают не чужие нам люди," - приводит слова президента официальный сайт Кремля.

Он отметил, что в России проживает около 2 миллионов азербайджанцев и более 2 миллионов армян.

"Конечно, это огромная трагедия. Люди гибнут, большие потери с обеих сторон. Мы надеемся, что в самое ближайшее время этот конфликт будет прекращён. Но если он не будет исчерпан окончательно, судя по всему, до этого ещё далеко, но во всяком случае мы призываем, и я ещё раз хочу об этом сказать, призываем к прекращению огня. И как можно быстрее нужно это сделать." Путин напомнил, что "Армения является членом ОДКБ".

"У нас перед Арменией есть определённые обязательства в рамках этого договора. Но боевые действия, к огромному нашему сожалению, продолжаются до сих пор, они ведутся не на территории Армении. Что же касается исполнения Россией своих договорных обязательств в рамках этого договора, то мы всегда исполняли, исполняем и будем исполнять свои обязательства", - отметил Путин.

Позиция России состоит в том, что ее обязательства перед Арменией не включают военную деятельность в зоне нагорно-карабахского конфликта, которая на международном уровне признана юридически частью Азербайджана.

Среда (7 октября) также день рождения российского лидера. Среди тех, кто поздравил по телефону, был президент Азербайджана Ильхам Алиев. Это был первый разговор двух президентов после эскалации конфликта 27 сентября. Стенограмма телефонного разговора с азербайджанской стороны дала мало информации, но отметила, что ситуация обсуждалась.

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)
