Папа Римский осенью посетит Тбилиси, Мцхету и Баку

Ватикан опубликовал маршрут осеннего визита Папы на Кавказ, где он проведет встречи с религиозными и политическими лидерами и мессу на стадионе в Тбилиси. Франциск проведет два дня в Грузии и один день в Азербайджане. Напомним, что в июне Папа находился с визитом в Армении.

Франциск первоначально намеревался посетить все три страны Кавказа в рамках одной поездки, но в итоге эти планы пересмотрели. Франциск посетит Грузию с 30 сентября по 1 октября, а 2 октября направится в Азербайджан.

В ходе визита в Грузию Франциск встретится с президентом Георгием Маргвелашвили, с главой грузинской православной церкви, Патриархом Ильей II, а также другими деятелями политического и гражданского общества, в том числе представителями ассиро-халдейской общины.

1 октября, он отслужит мессу на столичном стадионе им. Месхи, а затем посетит один из главных духовных центров Грузии - кафедральный патриарший храм Светицховели в Мцхета.

По данным переписи 2015 года, около 0,5% населения Грузии являются католиками и проживают, в основном, на юге страны. В 1999 году Тбилиси посещал Папа Иоанн Павел II. Архиепископ Мамберти, министр иностранных дел Ватикана, также посещал Грузию в сентябре 2014 года, который затем пригласил Папу Франциска посетить эту страну.

На следующий день, 2 октября, Франциск отправится в Азербайджан. Его визит в Баку начнется с папской мессы в храме Непорочного зачатия пресвятой Девы Марии. Затем запланированы встречи понтифика с президентом Ильхамом Алиевым, руководством Управления мусульман Кавказа, представителями Русской православной церкви и еврейской общины. Вечером того же дня глава Римско-католической церкви возвратится в Ватикан.

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).
