Щедрый поступок, который также может иметь политическое значение

Азербайджан - это страна, где политика часто идет необычным путем и где маленькие жесты часто имеют важное значение.

В субботу (15 июня) было объявлено, что первый вице-президент и первая леди Азербайджана Мехрибан Алиева выразила соболезнование в связи с кончиной вдовы бывшего президента Азербайджана Абдулфаза Эльчебея, погибшего в Стамбуле 14 июня. Азербайджанские СМИ также сообщили, что расходы на похороны будет нести Фонд Гейдара Алиева, который возглавляет первый вице-президент.

Этот скромный акт великодушия имеет политическое значение, особенно в тот день, когда официальный Баку празднует День национального спасения, и это тот момент, когда покойный Гейдар Алиев вернулся в национальную политику, вскоре после этого он заменил Эльчебея в качестве президент страны. С тех пор официальное повествование в Баку, не без какого-либо оправдания, гласит, что Гейдар Алиев - тесть Мехрибан Алиевой и отец нынешнего президента Ильхама Алиева - спас страну от катастрофы после короткого, но бурного президентства Эльчебея.

В то время как некоторые отвергают жест Мехрибан ханум Алиевой как гипократию, другие видят в этом еще один маленький шаг в процессе национального примирения, поскольку правительство пытается исцелить некоторые глубокие политические разногласия в стране.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

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 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.
